Personal:

I am married and have two wonderful kids, 14 and 10.  I've been running since 1982.  I never get "basic" injuries.  I always get the real nasty career threatening kind, like stress fracture of the sacrum, ganglion cyst clamping  down on my peroneal nerve.

Ran a pretty decent 12 miles w/ Jacki at Hawthorn Park.  Went through Rose-Hulman, the Golf Course and the Blair Witch Loop and more in Hawthorn Park.  It was nice to finally be able to get on the trails.  My left achillies is still bothering me on occassion.  It was finally completely comfortable about an hour in.  Temp started out kinda foggy 45, but by the time we were done, it was breezy and 36.  Total time 1:26:47.

Today did 15 minutes on the Octane.  Legs felt really fresh.  Tonight, ran 8.5 miles from the Y through Deming Park and back in a pretty quick 54:16.  Ran about 6:30ish pace most of the way with a couple of miles down around 6:10.  Felt really really good.  Unfortunately, this deal with my left achilles isn't getting any better.  It's not getting worse, but not any better either.  Feels great right now.  Temp cool 31 (to 27 shortly after sundown).

Did 40 minutes on the Octane during lunch.  Actually went 7 miles in 40 minutes.  About equivalent to 4 miles running for me.  Achilles didn't hurt, although it was tight the first 5 minutes.  I'll only be able to run tonight if all this sleet and ice melts off by this evening, otherwise I'll have to skip out and hit the Octane again.

 

Did another 60 minutes on the Octane tonight.  I really wanted to get out and run.  I still had some irritation, but it did feel better.  Of course it felt better, I didn't run!  But that was a tough 60 minutes.  9.5 miles.  About equivalent to 6 miles running for me. I gotta be careful with the achilles.  I've read some pretty scary stuff.

Did a really hard 30 minutes on the Octane during lunch today.  5.62 miles.  Most I've ever done in 30 minutes.  Then tonight, did 60 more minutes on the Octane.  9.5 miles in 60 minutes.  Still have a little tightness but no pain in achilles.

Did 30 minutes on the Octane during lunch today.  Felt pretty good.  Achilles no pain.  Ankle a little tight.  Tonight, did another 60 minutes on the Octane.  Felt better than I did last night.  Made it 10.12 miles in 60 minutes.  Once again, tightness in the ankle, no pain in Achilles.  May try to run 3 miles tomorrow.

Today I only managed 3 minutes on the Octane during lunch.  I was up late with work lastnight and work didn't go well today, so I was too disgusted and feeling crappy.  Tonight I took a two hour nap after I got home from work, but did manage to get out the door and run 3.25 miles tonight from home up through Howard subdivision and back.  Wish I felt better because it is beautiful out.  Full moon glowing through the clouds, a "warm" 38 degrees and no wind.  No pain in Achilles at all though.  First mile in a "rusty" and burning 7:39.  Finally got down to 6:40 pace and last mile in 6:20.

Today ran an easy 7.5 miles with Jacki from Meadows through Deming Park, Woodridge subd, etc.  It got cold and windy in a hurry.  It was about 35 when we started, 29 when we finished.  Left Achilles was a little tight toward the end.  At least we didn't get any snow.  Can't run on snow right now with the Achilles being tight.
