I met a sub 2:45 dude at the gym today.

We made tentative plans to meet at the gym Thursday mornings for tempo stuff.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but what distance are we talking for sub 2:45?

New HM world record set in Copenhagen.

Haven't run in a week. Heel is still not right but I'm tired of not running. Gonna see what I can do. It'll be slow, but maybe I can get in 5 miles or so. It'll depend on pain level.

I got a kudos from Rob yesterday. Maybe he's coming out of hibernation?

This wasn't as bad as expected. First half mile hurt. But one I loosened up it was basically fine. Could have gone faster but didn't want to push unnecessarily.

I've been dealing with the same sort of problem for months now. Takes a mile to warm up my Achilles but after that I manage okay.

Do you feel pain during the day?

Yeah. I bought some new shoes for work. Hopefully that squashes the issue. Business footwear can really trash your feet out of nowhere if you don't pay attention.

Guys, I know I try to present myself as a "just run through it" tough guy with injuries, but please don't fuck around with your Achilles.

That's an injury that can last a lifetime.

Rest.

Rest a lot.

Also, this showed up in my FB feed and kinda depressed me. I'm at least 15% right now.

I'm not sure mine is an Achilles injury, though. It's in my heel. I have no idea what it is.

For the first time in about 10 years, I think I'm gonna start working out again and just focus on getting "fit."

I kinda hate to do it, I've always just worried about being in running shape, but I've been dealing with this damn hamstring for 2 years now.

Probably gonna do 3 short runs a week and 3 workouts a week.

The RM running crew is falling apart.

Yeah. Your post yesterday really got my paranoia going about my achilles problem. I should take a few months off and use the time to get shoulder surgery.

I need to buy some new running shoes. I need something that can survive a while on rocky roads cause my current shoes are shot just after about 20 runs on them.
