37 degrees outside and I was overdressed.  I ran 6.2 miles at a 7:17 pace in 45.10 minutes.  I wanted to almost quit because of the pain then it got better on the last couple of miles.  But I think my mind just adapts to the pain and can finish.

Doctor tomorrow.

Ran 1.35 miles on the treadmill in pain.  Doctor's appointment today at 10:30am.

Doctor Update:

No Stress Fracture.!  My bones and structure all look great according to the X-Rays.  I have a little inflammation in the Achillies Tendon with a little lump.  Basically, it's Achillies Tendonitis.   I need to do the cold/warm/cold treatment once or twice a day.  I need to at least take 600 grams of Tylenol, or whatever flavor.  He did put heel lifts in my shoes to help relieve the pressure from the Achillies.  He said I can still run but to cut back.   Although, it's hard to run in pain so I might  run 3 miles a day or take some time off.

Just a note I'm using the Sarfai browser (Apples web client) and the fastrunningblog.com site that uses an Apache server  Optimizes better with this browser than Firefox or IE.  Just wanted to pass along the geek tip of the day.

 I ran 10.52 miles in 7:17 at an overall 1:16.  I know I said I was going to slow down but my foot really didn't start hurting till mile 5.  Because, I only did a mile yesterday it was well rested.  Now I know if I take time off it should heal quickly.  I'm thinking of not running again till Friday and see if the pain decreases after the rest.   I did a lot of ice/warm/ice last night on the achillies.

No running I worked from 11pm to 4:30am last night.  14 hour work day yesterday.   I was going to probably take the day-off to rest the achillies anyway.  I got up today about noon.  No sense running when it wouldn't benefit me when your tired.

Nice weather this morning. Finishing a morning devotion book with my wife this morning that we've done the last 30 days and it's been a blessing.

Ran 9.34 miles at an overall 7:12 pace in 1:07 in nice 30 degree weather. My achillies started to get sore after about 3 miles. But yesterday's rest really helped. I know if I take a week off it would heal. I'm really struggling with wanting to take time off. I've ran so consistently for so long it's tough. I need God to either heal my leg while I'm running, or give me the strength to take a week off.

Ran 18.21 miles at an overall 7:08 pace in 2:09 on the Pocatello Marathon course with Barry.  Barry is looking great and is going to run well in the SLC and Ogden half marathon.  His fitness is totally 100% better than last year.  He has the dedication and commitment to really PR these races coming up.

The weather was nice at 30 degrees.  I did the last 4 miles on the course faster (6:58, 6:52, 6:51, 6:26).  We really just took it easy going down the hill having a good old time with great conversation.  Barry  did 16 miles, I took off faster with about 3 miles left so I could be at 18 miles by the time he reach 16 miles where he parked his car.  Then he drove up and got me at the 18 mile location.
