Weather - 25 degrees, windy, clouds. Strong winds today as I ran an easy 6.5 around the golf course. I wasn't sore from yesterdays hard bout, but about halfway through the run my achilles tendon became sensitive. I immediately slowed to a walk, stretched a bit, then resumed running. It seemed to be ok, but the last thing I want to have happen is to get injured just as winter training is coming to an end. I probably over-trained yesterday, combining a hard threshold run with the new bike workout. I was planning on doing hill repeats tomorrow, but I think it would be best to do an easy 5 miles and allow the achilles a chance to recover, so will reschedule the hills until Wednesday or Thursday if all goes well. After the run I stopped at Cardinal and did 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 15 minute walk home. #94 z.m. - #8 |
