The Achilles tendon was feeling better this morning so decided to test it at SHS. Within a mile it was hurting again, not as bad as Christmas morning but still there. So I shut it down after four laps. That will take care of 2013 for me at 2055 miles.

Came off the DL tonight with 84 laps at MAFC after work. First of all, 70 degrees in there felt damn hot. But the AT felt good and the tight gastrocs loosened up in a mile or two. Wasn't completely twinge-free but as good as I've had in a while. Even the glute niggle behaved (that won't last). Ran 6 miles in 55:xx then walked 4.5 laps to cool down. May be my last run ever at MAFC, although the blue norther coming in this weekend may dictate otherwise. Hoping I'll feel like another run tomorrow. Right now I feel better than I did before I started.

Easy run after work. Left calf is still very tender to the touch but doesn't hurt to run on it at all (shrug). So I just kept going past Souhside, around the horseshoe and back to complete 7.5. AT felt fine. Lots of endorphins on the eve of my last day at Apogee. I skipped watching the second half of a Hig blowout to do the run.
