Felt a little more centered today.  Still lots going on in my life, but getting out for a run helped me feel better.

Achilles strain still bugging me after a few days off. Starting back at ground zero to hopefully rehabilitate it.  20 minutes easy. Didn't feel horrible.  3x 15 eccentric calf raises.   Two dance/strength videos.  Time to get going on core/strength stuff again

25 minute run.  No worse than yesterday.  Short core workout.  Two choreo videos.  Achilles hurt a bit during high kicks. I wonder if I am the only one on the blog that dances for cross training?  I'm getting lots better, too!

Achilles felt stronger today.  I think it's gonna survive. Five miles followed by 3x15 calf raises and core.

Cole needed a running buddy today, so I ended up going longer than planned.  It was a touch hard on my Achilles, but it seemed to hold up. 3 x15 eccentric calf raises.  2 x 45 seconds step ups/walking lunges/tricep dips/push-ups.

Went a bit longer today.  Met Tee, Becca, Aimee, and Devra.  Still trying to build my sore tendon back.  It hung in there, but I may feel it tomorrow.

Early morning mileage with Cole.  He is doing the school musical. Balancing running and the show is going to be tough.  So, we will probably have several early morning runs.

3.5 with Tee, then picked up Cole for 5.3 more.  The headwind sucked.

2 solo miles. 8 with Cole.  Achilles hung in there but got sore after 7.  2 hours of dance rehearsal this afternoon.  Glad to have a double digit run.
