Cut todays run short due to Jonny boy not waking up. I guess his phone died for his alarm. So I had to knock on his door to wake him up. Still glad to get the miles in this morning. Also cold up north. 29 degrees for todays run.

P.M.

4.10 miles east on the TM. Might do some mile repeats tomorrow after I run a couple miles with Riley Freaking Cook. That's right the man is back!

Easy run on the TM. My legs felt really good that last couple of days, thinking speed workout this weekend.

Solid run with Ken and Bret this morning from The Pond. Morning wasnt bad weather wise, for about 2 miles it was a direct head wind which dropped the temps to about 18. For majority of the run it was pretty pleasant.

Finally got the 7 min/guy this morning and with a quick turn around from a late run last night. Legs are definitely feeling back to norm, and ready to roll a workout on Saturday.

Jon came down to my place to run today. He did 30 minutes only today because he has been sick the last couple of days. I headed back out for another 45 minutes. Pace was easy again today. Weather was just as bitter today as yesterday with a strong wind from the North East. But overall glad to get the run in this morning.

Tried to run today. I dont know when or how I aggravated my left achilles but it was painful. Really swollen and sensative to the touch. But anyway I tried to run and it was to painful.

Hopefully this is only a minor set back and should be ready to roll with a couple days off. Bummer though because I was excited to a solid tempo today.

Achilles is hurting pretty good still. The only postitve out of this run was that with KT tape and a figure 8 wrap the pain was manageable and didnt get worse.

More icing and compression and pray for better results tomorrow.

Snails pace of 7:40 min/miles in 12 degree weather.

Giving the test run today a B-. It could go either way right now, achilles didnt feel great but it didnt hurt that bad either. Calves and Hammies were pretty tight so I will stretch and roll out tonight. Hoping for better results tomorrow, if not I will take another week.

Failed miserably at todays run. Achilles is flared again, now it feels grainy and squeaky. So taking another week or so off. Now is the time to get this better so hopefully I can roll starting January.
