Base run - 2.12 miles, avg pace 9:53mile/min

It was 50/50 as to whether or not I was going to go out this morning.

I wore some big woolly socks to bed last night as I thought they may keep my achilles tendons nice and warm - and therefore reduce the stiffness in the morning.

I’m not sure if it was down to the socks but they did certainly feel better when I woke up. They were still a bit stiff, but the stiffness was mainly to the sides of the tendon’s themselves, so I decided to go out.

After plenty of warming up exercsis I started out really slow. I have to admit, it was one of the hardest runs I’ve had. I was just so breathless. I feel really fit at th moment, so I think I may be coming down with the cold that everyone else has got in my family!

Anyway, the achilles didn’t feel too bad during the run, and after my shower and some stretches they don’t feel bad at all.
