Yardwork warmup, 8.25 miles in 1:10:32, 8:33/mi, HR 149, core workout & stretching.

I broke no land speed records but at least I managed some decent mileage.  Now to see if the ankle liked it or not.  Felt really good to get out there and moving again.  Still getting more ROM from the calf stretches.

LM warmup, 8.25 miles in 1:06:29, 8:04/mi, HR 157, w/ 13 x Strides, & stretching.

Foot ached something fierce last night when I laid down to try to sleep.....took some time to ignore it enough to fall asleep.  Felt fine this morning and decent enough on the run.  The ache is mostly the achilles attachment point on the heel, but I figure its weakness leaving the body, right?  Stride is still not quite right, but today's issue was more from tired (out-of-shape) legs.  I hope a few sessions will wake them up to the fact that they couldn't possibly have lost as much fitness as they're claiming right now.  The strides were okay but tiring.  Overall, about as happy as I have any right to be.

LM warmup, 8.22 miles in 8:10/mi, HR 158 & stretching.

16 miles in the last 2 days and my legs were trashed today.  Great.  Muddled through.  I hope they start coming around soon.  Pretty dire when I limp thru < 25 miles in 3 days and expect to run 100 at once in less than 2 weeks.

LM warmup, 8.28 miles in 1:06:05, 7:59/mi, HR 162 & stretching.

Managed to keep all miles under a 9 minute pace uphill today, then suffered greatly on the return trip as my legs went from jello to mush.  HRs were pretty high throughout today, so tomorrow definitely needs to be a rest day.  Shouldn't be a problem with a 6+ hour drive in my future.

8.01 miles in 1:13:18, 9:09/mi, HR 164 & stretching.

Early morning run around Colfax, WA.  Ran up out of the canyon that the town is in into the hills on both sides of town.  Plenty of steep ups and downs.  Not a great run, but merely okay.

6.05 miles in 51:53, 8:34/mi & stretching.

Another run around Colfax, WA.  Skipped most of the hills this time around.  Left hip was freezing up again, so this run was difficult and I stopped at 6 because of time constraints.
