Day 8 of my week 7 training plan ended today. The modified Hal Higdon intermediate half marathon plan that I set up before starting training called for a 5k run on Saturday. Early on in training I realized that I would not be able to run most of the scheduled training runs so I opted to not register for the 5k.
So the modified modified plan called for me to run 10 miles on Sunday. I spent Sunday spectating at the 5150 New Orleans Triathlon event so I pushed my one week 7 run to Monday, day 8 of said week 7. In keeping with the fuzzy math, week 8 will now be a 6 day cut back week.
I had pain in my right Achilles all week due to tight calves at the start of week 6's long run. The tight calves were due to climbing up and down a ladder a few hours the previous Friday. The week 6 run was not impacted but I certainly dealt with the achilles pain this entire long run. I ran 8.75 miles of the scheduled 10 miles. Hopefully the pain will subside and I will be able get back on schedule training wise.
Other than running, I rowed for 15 minutes Tuesday and rowed a 5k distance on Thursday and Saturday. I had a massage Wednesday that focused on the calf and achilles itself.
