9 am Christmas Eve Boot Camp. I didn't sweat a lot, but I hit my wall a few times. A bit of a concern happened during a time when she had us holding in a squat position for about 60 seconds. I was holding it as tight as I could and with about 10 seconds to go the left side of the top of my head got a surging pain. I held the squat then dropped to my knees for a bit and breathed in and out to get oxygen. Took a break for a bit then continued, but chilled out for the rest of the time and didn't push myself too hard. My wife Kaylene came with me and that was fun. I've never been to Boot Camp with her.

6 miles in 12 degree temps, but sunny. Cold but my upper body was plenty warm. Legs a bit cold but very little wind so nothing concerning. I had a hard time getting going and thought about turning around at 2 miles but I felt good once I hit that point so I kept going. I was able to hit some paces in the high 7s, which I haven't been able to do in 6 weeks or more due to the achilles. It felt pretty good today, so that makes me think the Boot Camp sessions are working.

AP: 9:05 

Merry Christmas FRB friends!

3 treadmill miles at the Y. Felt pretty good. Ran most at 6.5, achilles was there but no pain per se.

Iced the achilles at night. Will try and do more of that.
