First run in a month! Even though I was breathing ridiculously hard and had to stop and walk 10 minutes in. It was the best feeling getting done with this run and having no pain in my achilles.

Got out for a quick run before church. Running on Sunday is a no go for some. But for me it is my Sacred Grove, it calms me and gets my mind ready for the up and coming meeting.

Feeling really good today. No inflammation has come back since I started running which is a great sign. I still feel that I am not out of the woods quite yet but will still continue to do PT and hope for the best.

Met with Jon and Riley at the Weber County Fairgrounds. Riley did an incredible workout yesterday and was doing this run as a recovery run. It was nice to have a day of running easy on the grass.

Met up with Jon at Lee's market and ran up to the canal rd and headed west to Weber High and back down to Lees market. 

Overall it was a solid week back but there is alot of improvement to be had. Here is to a better week next week!

Drove to the canal rd and headed South. Did a out and back. Run was definitely easy due to the 70+ mile an hour wind! It was freezing plus windy, just glad I got the run in.

Easy on the TM. Bitter cold outside with the wind, did that garbage yesterday and didnt want to do that again today. Overall I am feeling very optimistic about hitting a solid race by the middle of May.

I do have a little bit of pain in the achilles everynow and then but not all the time. What I have been told and have read up on is that the achilles being soft tissue can take up to a year to 2 years to get back 100% of its strength. I will continue to monitor the achilles and due stretches as much as can a just move forward.

avg pace on todays run was 7:13 min/miles

Progression run on the TM. 

Started at 724 pace and ended at 634 pace.

Fitness is coming around but not quick enough. Hoping to start some tempo work in the next two weeks. Plan is to start at 4 miles around 6 min pace and slowly progress down in to the 520s. Also going to focus on lite track sessions to increase turnover.

Another TM run after work and basketball games, Busy day today. Had a huge state game that we lost, Jaerdan and Korver played in their last game. Good way to end the day with a run though.

4 mile warm up then decided to throw in a progression tempo run. Yes I am counting them as marathon pace, based off of my current fitness level, this is where I am at.

Solid group from the pond at 21st. Did one mile warm solo to get warmed up then headed out with the guys when they got there. 

Overall I felt pretty good. Did most of the pacing around 6:30 pace, legs did fall off after 10 miles or so, but just grateful to be out with the guys again.
