I literally wiped the dust off my GPS. The last run I had stored in there was from July 29, the day I f^&$#d up my achilles. Anyway I wanted to see how fast my easy pace really was.  As it turnsout it's right where it needs to be.  i hit exactly 8 min miles for my first 40 minute run! No problem with my calf complex. All of the PT and strengthening combined with he rest day yesterday yielded some big progress for the achilles.   To top it all off I went and pool ran for an hour.  Extremely tired but satisfied.

sore this morning but it's beautiful outside so I went for a run and made it 40 minutes again! After 20 min. my ankle loosened up and I forgot about it. Went to the pool again...now I'm really tired. Such a beautiful spring-like day outside. It's 53. Ironically enough we have a winter storm warning and the high on Wednesday is 18.

40 min easy + standard core routine.

Woke up this morning and everything is cancelled. A snow storm followed by an arctic blast is on its way and everything gets cancelled around here in the DC area....I find it to be quite humorous, having grown up in NW Ohio but hey, a free day.  

I wasn't going to run today but changed my mind..leg is holding up but my legs overall are tired from the running + pool running the last two days.

AM: 1 hr pool run.

PM: late for work today since metro made me miss the shuttle. Sat out in 7 degree temps for a half hour waiting for the next one.  Needless to say I can't take my full lunch break today.

First day at 50 minutes. About 8 min pace. Constantly dodging ice sucked. About 20 degrees with 7 wind chill. I was in full winter gear which is rare around here. Looking to hit my first hour run next weekend. Happy to be running.
