Baseball field, slow. Legs were a bit tired, calves sore afterwards. Otherwise, good.

Outside of my right knee was a bit sore today. Did foam-roller and IT stretches afterwards.

Easy on the baseball field. My left knee was clicking a lot walking around, but was fine once I started running.

Achilles has been a problem recently, but was okay today. 40 minutes on the practice field in the morning. It's still hot and muggy here, but wasn't too bad until the sun came up half way through.

Took it easy on the baseball field. Hot and muggy, as if I were back on the east coast.

40 minutes on the practice field. Half way through I got a pain in my right ankle, on the inside of the ball, but it went away pretty quickly and I finished the run. Early on my legs felt really peppy and I held back a bit. By the end I was ready to be done.

First day running in a bit after having Achilles problems, so I took it pretty easy around the baseball field. Felt good.

I'm back from Colorado, where I ran about 10 miles most days on the trails.
Unfortunately, my achilles is sore today. This happened suddenly last night while I was simply walking around. I'll take today off and remember to do the eccentric achilles exercise.
Utah/Colorado trip update
Last weekend I flew out to Salt Lake City to hang out with Will and Ruby and to form Will's support crew for the Trans-Rockies Run. It's been a blast.
On Saturday or Sunday, I forget which, we ran a 15k on some trails near Will's place. I missed the start and had to crap behind a bush, so this race didn't go too well. I felt the altitude pretty strongly as well (six or seven thousand feet, I think).
Then we did the eight-hour drive up to Colorado, where I've been running with The Backcountry Goats (Will works for Backcountry.com, and their emblem is a goat). We did a shakeout on Monday, then today was the first day of the race. I drove the car from the start to the finish, then doubled back about four miles to finish with Will and Peter. Then I doubled back again for the girls team and wound up doing about 11 miles total on the day.
Altitude is tough - I can't really run fast at all up here. Still, I apparently ran better than 7-minute pace today on my way out to meet up with the Goats, assuming the course measurements are to be trusted.
