22 min treadmill running. Core routine, Achilles PT

As with all my posts, I really have no idea how far I'm going.  I got up to 7.5 on the treadmill for 10 minutes of my run today so I am now able to go much faster than the 30 second bursts of 5.3 I started at.

By the way, standard core routine involves a minute plank, 45 sec side planks on each side, another minute plank, oblique work, 30 push-ups, and supermans all in one routine. I usually do the ab machine a bit as well.

Achilles PT involves weighted flat ground calf raises, right leg-balancing, and some light lunges.  Nothing too complicated but these things are really helping my leg get stronger.

Not sure how far i went but it's probably a little further than 3 miles but I am going to be purposefully conservative in my estimates until I switch back to recording my runs by miles.  I won't do this until I can hit an hour easy everyday so until then, estimates will suffice.

I went out for 30 minutes in the rain and I was just fine.  My ankle was slightly sore but not my achilles, it is the top of my foot that's tired and sore.  I'm assuming this is because it hasn't had to work in a real running motion for 5 months.  Even a million calf raises can not prepare everything in my ankle for running.

Anyway I went to the pool for an hour afterwards.  I was very tired after that.  Sore and tired...going to be a long road back.  Getting used to being sore is a good start.
