After you mentioned me taking some time off at the end of the month I started thinking more about my left ankle/Achilles. I had been trying to run through this and it was getting a little better, but I got worried it would become a chronic injury because it had been lingering for so long. So, I decided to take a few days now instead of waiting.
I used the PF splint as often as I could during the day and over night, and it really helped. I also did a lot of deep massage and rolling. The Saturday run felt good over all and my 7M this morning was great. I still stopped a couple times do some massage just to be careful, but overall the 4 extra days off really made a difference.
I have notice that my ankle/Achilles feels better at my faster paces.

My left ankle is still tight and sore in the mornings. It loosens up and is good during the day. I'm still doing a lot of calf raises for the Achilles, and am thinking about getting a PF splint to sleep in. I've noticed that holding it in that dorsiflexed position helps.
Ignoring the Friday's rain and Sunday's debacle, this week went well. I was a little tired from being sick last weekend, but it worked its way out by the first mile each run.

I had been feeling something coming on for awhile. I think running at noon two times this week pushed me over the edge. It was easily 100*+ for both runs. I ended up getting a sore throat Wednesday and nearly lost my voice Sunday. I am feeling a lot better today and will get back to my building mileage this week. I'm just going to consider this a down week before the 4-week push you mentioned last week.
Hope all is well with you.

I figured out it was my Peroneal Tendon that was bothering me. I did a lot of heat, calf raises, and light stretching all week. Over the week it calmed down significantly, but I have a little Achilles soreness which I am going to attribute to the increase in miles. Overall I feel good, but I am going to add the band walks just to be safe.
I hope everything is good on your end.

I died at the end and walked a little during 8 too because that section is uphill most of the way (probably why 1 was so fast). I always forget how harsh trail runs are. With all the rain a brisk run in a swamp is not so much fun.
