Some unplanned down time

So right now my Achilles' is bothering me a tiny bit. Nothing serious, but after seeing Kangway, Mark, and hearing about Ian struggle with it more severe Achilles' injuries, I am doing some cross training and hopefully taking no more than 3 days off.

8/2/07- Eichenlaub grassy especial, 74 minutes. Ran at 4 so it was hot as hell. Was late for SURF dinner so pushed hard. Getting below 8 min was harder than I thought, and the extra effort just made the heat problem worse. On the plus side, legs were feeling great and pretty good pace for soft grass.

Miles: 9

8/3/07- Eichenlaub grassy special medium to Oak Knoll with Ian. Good convo, showed me the lab afterwards. After shower and dinner, Achilles’ tendon feeling worse than in days past. Iced, probably will take tomorrow off to be careful.

Miles: 8.5

8/4/07- Day off. Achilles’ better but decided not to run on it. Heated, stretched, massaged, stretched, iced, swam 1000 yards of various strokes at the pool, and iced. Tomorrow probably off again just to be careful.

Miles: 0.
