BYU XC Runner

I did 42 minutes today. I went out with everyone and me and Dylan turned back early. My achilles feels fine, a little sore, but getting better. I'm just going to increase my mileage slowly, doing a little more each day. We did 6.25 miles, and it felt pretty easy. We averaged about 6:30 on the way back, and it felt really easy and good.

My achilles was feeling pretty good, so I decided I would try doing the workout today. We only did five four hundreds today. It felt good during them, and it doesn't hurt anymore after doing them. I think it's almost better now. My times were 65, 62, 64, 65, 64. They felt pretty east and pretty controlled. I kept the first one relaxed, and was in the middle of my group. On the second one, me and Trevor lead it and pushed each other to finish in front. On the third one, I was a second or two behind the front. On the fourth one, I pushed it the last 100 and was just behind the leaders. On the last one, I kicked the last 100 to get up in front with Trevor. My legs were pretty tired, but I had a lot left in me.

This is my first time running since Wednesday. My achilles was hurting a lot, but it's feeling better today. I'm going to take it easy until it feels totally better, just play it by ear. If it hurts at any time, I will stop running. On the run today, I could barely feel it, and it doesn't hurt more than it did before. I did 30 minutes today, about 4.25 miles.
