Well I'll do my weekly summation early as I doubt I'll have anything to report the rest of the week - got called in to cover a shift today through Sunday and being dayshift I wont have any good time to run.
Tuesday - An easy slow 3.7mi. Legs were real tight from getting called into work Monday with little sleep.
Wednesday - Was going to try to do a longer run but still tight calf and tendons in right foot. Plus it was windy. Got 2mi in, I think around 22ºF with wind chill. At my turn around spot when I turned directly into the wind at its peak my eyes watered so bad I couldn't really see for the first 1/4 mile.
Thursday - Finally a nice sunny day. Was great to see the sun. Wanted to get out earlier in the day but had so much going on I didn't hit the trail until almost 4pm, by which time the sun was already disappearing into the haze of the westerns sky. Still a nice sunset run, and got 10mi in. 32ºF/23ºFwc. The trail was somewhat protected from wind, and I did fine barefoot and with just my lite clothes, but by the end after the sun had set my hands got really cold even with the gloves on (and I had actually had them off 30 minutes prior).
So only a bit over 15mi this week, but at least its something. Slowly working my way back up. Would like to be back to normal mileage before the snow sets in and limits my running but this achilles problem doesn't seem to be going away entirely.
Good luck Runlite, and have fun!
Tuesday morning, gentle 5km recovery run on the beach after my big trail run on the weekend. I was able to convince myself that I was loosening up and feeling better during the run, so I guess that's something. I'm still a little sore though. One thing I find strange is that now that I'm getting a little older, I don't get sore the day after a big run - it usually takes 2 days before it hits. No idea why.
Well I do get sore the day after, but for me the soreness peaks 2-3 days after, and always been that way.
