Comments:
After an entire afternoon spent driving my daughters to and from Rockville and Bethesda, not to mention a midday trip to Dr. Beck in Arlington to manipulate my ankle and back, I met Brian Peabody outside his apt at 7:30pm. I jogged 1:30 minutes from my car in Somerset before and after. We started off mellow to the Crescent Trail and went south turning on the far bank of Mass Ave. Pace built throughout, but never very aggressively. Nice to catch up with a Goat. Achilles didn't bug me at all during the run. a few hours later as i type this and ice it, I'm aware of stiffness and crunchiness, but if the brisk pace didn't bug it, I'm going to call that progress. I have taken Beck's advice re ice and increased stretching. Pace on the crescent dropped from sub 7:30 down to 6:45 ish by the end, and we finished fairly strong to his front door. I was pleased that I felt as good as I did. Still, I was working to get down to 7:00 and that wasn't the case, even just one week ago in Central Park where 6:50 happened without much effort for several miles.
