A very easy 12.6 in 7:47 avg with some of the folks across the river. Lower right leg was never an issue during the run, but it's been sore before and after.

6 easy. Took the morning off over tendon fears. Everything felt fine on this run.

12 very easy. No pain.

Saw the PT tonight. First time seeing a PT in NOLA. Found one a couple miles from my house who had good Google reviews, for whatever that's worth. I left feeling like I lucked out finding a good one. He thinks it's the posterior tibial tendon that's all upset, but he doesn't think it's very bad at this point. Gave me the green light to keep running but cautioned me to limit the faster stuff. At this point in the training cycle.... I may shuffle any 5k-pace stuff for later, but I'll likely risk HMP/MP work. Take it day by day and see how it goes.

Anyhow, he gave me some isometric exercises to work on. Did some Astym on it, and I left feeling optimistic that I can successfully train through it.

AM - Big workout. 3 WU, 10 miles continuous (1T-2MP-1T-2MP-1T-2MP-1T), 2 CD

5:31 avg for 10

Splits: 5:18, 5:47, 5:42, 5:11, 5:40, 5:46, 5:07, 5:45, 5:40, 5:07

I was intimidated by this one and didn't run it quite right. But I think for the most part I got what I needed. I told myself I could take a break 6 miles in if I needed, but then I couldn't quite hit the right paces for the MP segments and it didn't feel as hard as I expected. So I kept it as one continuous effort. And I unintentionally compensated on the T miles. It would have been better running 5:15/5:35, but so it goes. 

No flare-ups in the posterior tib post run. I'll count that as a big success.

PM - 4 easy

AM - Track day. 1000m, 2 x 1600m, 2 x 1000m (2:15/4:00 rests). No sprints as I'm still being cautious with the posterior tib.

3:01, 4:54, 4:57, 3:05, 3:03

Not very sharp. Was looking to hit 72s/lap. It was windy and I got battered on the back stretch. But I got the work in for what I could do today.

The posterior tib is continuing to improve. No relapse from this session, which is a great sign. So long as it stays good I'll be able to add the sprints back in next week.

PM - 4 easy
