Thoughts: Another week with little to no speedwork, but possibly achilles tendonitis :/ It’s the back of my ankle that hurts, even just pressing on it or moving it the wrong way, weirdly though hurts much more in sneakers than in flip flops and hurts more walking in sneakers than running. Icing a lot and doing specific achilles stretches and hoping it calms down, but until then just continuing with maintenance runs @7:30-8:00 and keeping mileage steady. NEED TO DO MY PUSHUPS. Make sure to eat enough now that I’m back at school. Schedule workouts and lifting and GET MORNING WORKOUTS DONE. Relax and enjoy the first week of sophomore year!
