Out and back on trail from wells fargo

I have had chronic trouble with my achilles since my last big mileage week in November.  I was really excited to get back running after just getting over major plantar fascitis.  Well, my calves got tight; I wnet to get a massage and the nastiness in my calves moved right into my left achilles.  At one point it was so badmy achilles was swollen like a bratwurst and I couldnt walk up or down the stairs because i couldnt put pressure on my forefoot.

I dealt with it through the first part of january, then took 2 weeks almost completely off.  I have felt way better the last 2 weeks with 2 ibuprofen every day, ice twice a day, and stretching right after I run. 

I wasn't sure if I could make boston because of injury after injury, but after the 14 on saturday, I am going to go for it.  I wont do great, but I just want to enjoy the race and the atmosphere.  I feel way out of shape compared to the last 3 years, but I will do what I can do without getting injured again.  It is all for fun right now.

chad and I went 17 miles. started at confluence up to snow canyon pkwy down the park trail to back of black hill and ended at maverick by the auto dealerships.  I felt so good mile 12-16.  I got in a great rhythm and just rocked it out.  It wasn't fast but it was a good 17. around 8:10 a mile with the hills.

stayed in hatch over pres. day weekend.  NO running just rode the 4 wheelers and did a little sledding.  The achillies is a little tender but nothing like it was a couple weeks ago.  It is crazy because it was almost like after 2 months it just disappeared.

AM-weight room with watson.  Back and biceps.

 

PM-2nd day of track practice.  I was dreading the fact that track started, but now I am feeling pretty good about things.  We aren't going to be deep this year, but we have some good stuf going.  Our young kids are going to have to step up if we want to be top 5 this year.  We will see how it goes.  I am not even going to stress about scores.  I just want individuals to do well.

Chad and i did the industrial loop plus south virgin trail out and back. We were just under 8 a mile, but I had a real mental block around 9 today.  It took me until 12 to work things out in the brain.  I am definitely not where I was last year at this time, but at least i am running.

Quick 3 with distance kids early.  Sharp is going to be a monster this year.  Logan has them really dialed in.

PM-6 on treadmill

interval work @ every other mile.  7min  per mile and 8 min per mile.  NOt real speed work, but something to break up the monotony on the treadmill.
