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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Ran a pretty good 12.5 miles with Jacki at Hawthorn Park. Went around Rose-Hulman, through Woodridge, Golf Course and Blair Witch Loop. Cool, 29 and a little breezy. Started to snow big snow flakes the last 10 minutes or so. Left Achilles was a little tight again toward the end, but no real pain. Total time 1:34:15 |

| Today only did 8 minutes on the Octane during lunch. I felt really good and started out fast, but wanted to save it for a quality workout tonight. Glad I was fresh because the weather is supposed to get really nasty tomorrow. Tonight, ran a semi quick 2 mile warmup from Woodrow Wilson MS to Woodridge. Then ran 2x1 mile in 5:45 each. Was going to try to do 6 of them, but just really struggled to do 5:45 pace. Decided to finish up with a tempo run. Ran 6.5 miles in 42:38 with the last 1.5 miles in 9:03. Temp cool 35 but a 15 mph SSE breeze. Left Achilles hurt pretty much throughout, but I think I figured it out. My shoes are laced up too high. I have thick ankles so I usually don't lace in the top holes, but on these shoes I have them that way. Now it makes sense that the Achilles doesn't hurt when I stretch. I think it's just the back pressure from the back heel of the shoe pressing so hard on my Achilles. We'll see. Going to take some discipline to get out the next couple of days as we're supposed to get freezing rain followed by sub-zero wind chills over the next two to three days. |

| Today I did the Octane really hard, 5.62 miles in 30 minutes during lunch. Really surprising because I figured I'd be tired from yesterday's workout. Then tonight, ran 12 miles in 1:22:12. Had 42:12 half way. Really surprised at how effortless it was (well, at least the first 10 miles) despite the 15F temperature and abundance of clothes I had to wear. Had to run on the Heritage trail since the wind was out of the NW, I wanted a tail wind on the way back. Still pain in achilles. I think it may be that my achilles is "bruised". No amount of stress or stretching it produces pain, but running, with the pressure from the back of my shoe, causes pain on the outside of it. My lower legs are twitching like crazy two hours later. Supposed to get down below 0 tomorrow night. Gonna be tough. |

| Tonight did about 35 minutes on the Octane. Did not run. I'm thinking now that what I have with my achilles may be "Retrocalcaneal Bursitis". Sucks... Don't know how long something like this takes to heal...
