4 TM miles at the Y. I went way too long without running solid distances, and now I need to build back up. After 8 on Saturday night, these 4 were way harder than they should've been. Finished with .25 at 6:30 pace, so at least there was that.

My left achilles is more sore as I've been running more. Last night I started doing the stair dips that Jake prescribed in early spring. I should've been doing them ever since it started hurting. I'm going to start doing more calf stretches after my workouts as I think that tight calves are the main factor with both my achilles and plantar fasciitis. I gave up stretching a while ago and I guess my experiment worked for a couple years, but now I'm a bit older and the niggles are abounding.

Noon: Boot Camp. I wasn't going to do it, but I love the feeling of sore muscles that I get every time I go. My legs weren't feeling it before going, so thankfully there wasn't much leg work today. Lots of arms and shoulders with some cardio as well. Great session. Our leader is a former Arena League QB for our local team for 5-6 years, who now works at our Y. He was a lot of fun to watch as QB, and by the exercises he put us through I understand where he got his edge.

3 TM miles. Feeling a cold coming on, so taming the effort for a couple days to let this pass.

Feeling like mile 22 of the marathon. I hate being sick. Went to work for a couple hours, but now at home working so I don't get people sick and so I can rest when needed. Shouldn't have run yesterday, but hindsight is like 20/40 (the 20/20 saying is so overblown).
