  • Another rest day (except for the 3 miles I walked to and from school today)

My right foot is still not back to normal - it's probably at about 75%.  It feels better everyday, so I'm not worried.  I'll just give it some more time.  I think by next week it will be great and at that point, I'm just going to run 6-8 each day as opposed to two 10 milers and one 18-20 miler.  I'm feeling a little lazy for not x-training in the mean-time, but I figured I would give myself a "bye" this week since things are getting really crazy with school now that we're 2 weeks till the end of the semester...lots of papers, projects, tests due all over the place.  And to be honest, it hurts to do the elliptical or bike...which is funny because it hardly ever hurt my achilles.  So basically, I'm feeling a little sedentary right now and look forward to running again! :)  Don't be hatin on me even though I'm sedentary!  You'll all still be my friends, right?!  Haha.  Someday I hope to be the runner I once was pre-injury!!  I'm sure it will help once I get this school thing behind me...ya think?

Let's see:

1) working full time

2) going to school more than full time

3) trying to run gobs and gobs

I do think there is a correlation here!

There will be no hatin' from my corner.

Thanks Matt! Phew!! LOL. :) I was hoping it wouldn't catch up to me... Oh well. I'm not sure if you saw my post on KrityAnn's blog (they tend to get all lost when there's a lot of them), but I was wondering how your leg is doing after the tempo run?

From watchmerun on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 20:57:39 from 24.10.152.45

My achilles seems to be fine. I rested yesterday and today. I plan on running 10 tomorrow and 20 on Saturday. I can still feel something down there but the tempo run definitely didn't make anything worse. We will see after the 20 miler on Saturday. That should be the real kicker.

That's good you're resting so much before hand. Be careful tomorrow and Saturday...go slow! That is if you can help yourself. ;)

I don't plan on going too slow. I want to actually test it a little. But nothing super fast. Probably around 8:30 pace for the 20 miles.
