Nothing special to report. Everything is still getting better. This week I am aiming at running every day to hit 30 miles and make sure to do strides every other day. If you have any suggestions for how to structure that I'm all ears.

Since I'm going to be back home for a few day do you think there's anything running related I can do on the beach? Barefoot drills or running in soft sand?

I am going to add back band walks and back extensions and keep on doing the calf drops/raises and rolling.

I nabbed this behemoth last week.

  1. Woah, that is a whopper!

    The mileage is slowly creeping up. I love running barefoot on the beach, but I only do it so much (it takes a while to get used to & you don't want any weird top of foot pain). Just go easy and pay attention to how you feel. I prefer the flatter firmer sand to the really soft stuff. With achilles pain, it can flair a bit on uneven surfaces or hills...as long as you pay close attention to how its feeling I think you'll be fine.

  2. I figured I'd just jog around during low tide but I might just do drills. There's not a lot of areas where the sand is flat enough for long runs.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
