Was going for a hilly run today, so out to Pine Haven I went thinking that it would be dry since Burns trails (across the highway) were awesomely dry. WRONG! Super muddy and slick in many places. The loop I did multiple times was pretty dry, but when I went to the "back hills" there were times I had to walk - especially down the hills in the slick mud. Still, I think the distance was short. Once, I was running fast down a hill and I looked down and it said 13:00/mile. Umm... I know my sense of pace isn't off by that much. The track looked a little off in spots, but not all that much. Still, I know little differences can add up.
Achilles was a bit sore this morning (right side) but better by afternoon. I had a good talk with Dr. Anna, who said that the problem is probably somewhere else and wants me to stretch the rest of my body until I find the problem - including my toes. She has a hypothesis about foot flexibility as it relates to other pain and wants me to be a test subject. :)
