It is Thursday evening and I am at the Airport ready to head home from 4 days in Dc. I got in a 1200m swim on Monday, did the interval run for the week (2x2mi on 5min rest on Tuesday morning and did the tempo run (10mi) on Wednesday night.
I ran on some o the trails that seems to cover the dc area.
I am pretty sure that they are nice but it was completely dark during both sessions and I couldn't really see much.
I was slow during both runs. The intervals hit the target time range (7:30 to 7:50) but I ran the tempo at 8:15 instead of 8. And joy of joys I re injured my achillies! Luckily I had not called to cancel my arrosti appointment for Friday morning.
It is the more traditional achillies pain this time. It started to hurt about 4mi in to the run. I kept going. When I woke up this morning it was swollen and sore. I cannot push off without a good bit of pain and am limping around the airport.
I am hopeful that arrosti will work its magic and that I will be good to go Saturday. If not, I will push off till Sunday. If not Sunday, we will figure something out.
A few weeks ago running 20mi was just another Saturday. I hope that I can get back there in the next month.
