After two weeks of no running to rest a sore Achilles (or at least soreness in that area), I began with a 4 mile run and 6 miles the next day. \u00a0Both runs went well. \u00a0Then I did 4 miles and 7 for a total of 21 miles for the week. Not a bad Week 1.<\/p>\n
I did have calf soreness, and I’m using the foam roller, which seems to be helping. There’s still a lot of long runs ahead of me, and given that I’m injury prone, my biggest goal is to avoid major injuries. I definitely don’t want an outcome like a dream I had last night, where I was diagnosed with a broken foot, needing 8 weeks off! They could wreck a marathon.<\/p>\n
Week 2 is very similar to Week 1 as far as scheduled runs, and I’ll report back about it soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
