Base run - 3.48 miles, avg pace 9:56mile/min

I was really in two minds as to whether or not I should go out tonight. I’d had a twingy pain in my left heel all day, and was concerned I may have overstrieched my achilles tendons last night.

After much consideration though I decided to go out. I’m kind of coming to the conclusion now that it’s OK to have some discomfort as I get back to my pre-injury mileage.

I also felt it was time to start putting in more mileage. So, instead of my normal 2.25 mile route I did 3.5 miles (still at very slow base building pace).

I have to admit I felt really good. I didn’t feel breathless and the legs felt strong. I concentrated hard on landing midfoot - although I still have no real idea if I am successfully landing midfoot or not. I really must video my running soon to get a good idea of my form.

My achilles tendons also felt OK, but they are a bit tight now, so I’ve just spent half an hour with an ice bag on them. The real test will be when I get up in the morning… that’s obviously when they get their tightest.
