Testing out my achilles...it was feeling ok. A little stiff in the ankle and still some pain primarily when squatting with my heels on the ground, as well as going down stairs. Decided I hadn't run for about a week, so I was going to hit the TM for an easy jog. My daughter decided she wanted to go to the track, so I figured that was even better! We warmed up walking a lap. She had decided she wanted to see what she could do the mile in. Based on our previous runs, a 10:00 pace was going to be pretty good for her, so we started off. We did three laps at almost exactly 2:30 per lap. She had hit her limit, so she walked some more while I continued to run. I finished that mile at the 10:00 pace. Achilles wasn't feeling too bad, so I picked up the pace a little. Ran 1.5mi at 8:40-8:45 pace. I had intended to do 2mi, but at the 1.5, I was starting to feel it, so I decided to walk a lap, stretch and head for home to heat and ice it.
