I did a 5/5 Thursday. My ankle is still sore so I'm taking time off.
I ran a 5/5 This Tuesday and it felt good. It's just a little sore and stiff.
At least fishing is decent.
UPDATE: This morning I feel good. The ankle is good, but my quads are a little sore. I have to be losing fitness if I'm sore after a 5/5. Plus I'm going bat-shit crazy. I'm going running tonight. Hopefully it all works out.

Base Training: 09/30/2013 - 10/06/2013
On your advice I again took this week super easy. Easy to the tune of taking multiple days off and only being marginally sure I tracked all my running. Everything is getting better still. A lot better actually and I decided I wasn't going to undo it by running.
M: 3M
0.60 (9:05), 1.00 (7:58), 0.61 (8:20), 1.00 (8:09) - This felt really good and easy. But my ankle was a little tight the next morning. It's been like that though. Tight until I warm up and tight again afterwards.
MT110: 91M
T: 7M
Noon - 5/5 with girls at work.
MT110: 94M
PM: 4M 8:57, 8:26, 8:03, 8:19 - This was another super easy run. I felt like I was jogging after a half mile warm up. I never flet like I was running at all.
MT110: 98M
W: OFF
Th: 3M
5/5 with girls at work.
890v3: 356M
F - Su: OFF
Week: 13M
I love how it takes being completely idiotic to learn a lesson sometimes. If I was anyone else I would have told myself to stop running for a couple weeks after that trail run where I gimped up my left ankle. Lots of ice and massage this week.
I'm probably going to take the first half of this week off. I'll do a small test Thursday. I really hope this week will finish this off.
On a positive note, I've been looking at the new Garmin 620 and am going to get it. The new features look really cool. My Soleus just isn't cutting it any more. So I'm going to give it to one of the girls at work. Hopefully it will get her to run more. I'm wondering if you think getting access to that information would be useful on your end?

Base Training 09/23 - 09/29
M: 5/5 - 40:00
AM: 2M - 9:17, 8:47 - I switched shoes to see which felt best.
890v2: 350M
MT110: 74M
PM: 0.60 (8:27), 0.56 (8:49), 0.57 (8:49), 0.59 (8:27)
890v3: 353M
T: 5/5 - 40:00
0.58 (8:42), 0.61 (8:06), 0.63 (8:00), 0.68 (7:30)
MT110: 77M
W: 5/5 - 50:00
0.5 (9:14), 0.64 (7:54), 0.75 (6:40), 0.71 (7:09), 0.63 (7:54) - This run felt really good. There was a little down hill for the 3rd rep, but this really felt good.
MT110: 81M
Th: 5/5 - 40:00
0.51 (9:41), 0.51 (9:41), 0.47 (10:32), 0.48 (10:21) - I did this with a couple ladies at work. Between them and rain it got cut short.
MT110: 84M
F: 5/5 - 40:00
0.55 (9:22), 0.60 (8:20), 0.62 (8:27), 0.59 (8:27)

S: 5/5 - 40:00
0.54 (9:14), 0.57 (8:49), 0.68 (8:34), 0.61 (8:27) - I ran this in my 890s and my left foot/ankle didn't feel as good as earlier this week. I am wondering if running in the 890s so much this spring is part of this problem. Last year I was diligent about rotating through a lot of different styles of shoes and never had a problem that lasted this long.
The only thing comparable is when I got a little gimpy when I ran in the Brooks Cadence 2 and Connect 2...I wonder if this is a flare up of that...The Cadence made my peroneal sore and I got tight calves in the Connects.
890v2: 152M
Su: OFF
Week:
Overall everything is feeling a lot better. After the first rep I feel really lose and my form feels solid. My calves were a little tight all week from the MT110s, but I expected that.
I picked this book up. Any experience with it?
http://www.amazon.com/The-Mental-Athlete-Kay-Porter/dp/0736046542
Last year I read this and thought it helped me during the hard, middle miles of tempos and my race.

Base Training 09/16 - 09/22
M-Su - Off
I ran a little (2 miles) this morning to see how everything felt. Achilles still had a little tightness/pressure but no pain. It just felt like something was pressing into my Achilles.

890v3:349M
Su: OFF
Week: 18M
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.

9:30, 8:40, 8:41, 8:46, 8:26, 8:22, 8:09, 8:23 - This did not work out well. 1) I got a bad piece of lettuce in my salad last night so I had a few pit stops to make. 2) The pit stops left me totally empty and dehydrated. 3) I was running in the late morning and the heat was brutal.

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.
