We did this one back in June and my time was 19:40. So, a 1:20 improvement, not bad after running two half marathons! I did feel like Quasimodo when I was running though.

On Tuesday morning I attempted to work out but my Achilles tendon on my left heel was absolutely killing me. I iced it, rested took Advil and foam rolled the heck out of my calf all day, but it didn't really help the pain. I made an emergency call to Dr. Taylor - I hated to admit to myself that I may have an injury! - and she was able to schedule me for a Wednesday appointment. Basically my calf is just super, super tight and it is pulling on the Achilles tendon. She was able to use the laser and do some terribly painful massaging, and it really improved the range of motion. It is still pretty sore/tight, so I have been ordered to take 3 days off. I might go crazy! But I know I need it. So I will rest until Saturday morning, when I plan to hit the gym with a vengance. Also Saturday will be the kick-off of the "30 Day Paleo Challenge" - I am excited! I am really ready to further clean up my diet and lean out. So, no posts over the next few days as I will be doing a whole bunch of nothing, workout wise at least.
