1/5/1/5/1/10 - I woke up super early on accident so I ran a little. Felt good, but I didn't want to risk anything so I just jogged slow. I'm always stiff in the morning.

Still a little stiff but there's nothing I would call pain. Between this and fishing I am understanding "patience" in a whole new way.
I tried the compression at night but it was pretty uncomfortable.

Feeling pretty good overall. Still a little tight in my Achilles, but there's no pain.
I ran a little (1/5/1/5/1/10) this morning, and everything felt good. A tiny bit tight still.
I've still been fishing a lot and that's been a huge help mentally. Since switching to a baitcaster I am catching a ton more bass.

W: 5M
5 x (1M/5:00 rest) - 8:40, 8:09, 7:54, 8:19 - I just did a 5/5 for a warm up and 5:00 walking/stretching breaks between miles. This felt good. Still a little tight, but no pain.
890v2: 160M
Th-Su: OFF
My Achilles is just a little tight from the top of the heel bone to about 1.5 inches up. Last week I got really aggressive with the stick on my peroneus longus to the point where I was showing some bruising which seemed to make a huge, positive difference. I was just digging into every area that was sore and rolling it. Most of that was at the top of the muscle. Am I off in thinking the peroneal tendon problem I have been dealing with was caused by the tightness in the muscle?
I can't feel that anymore. It's just the tightness in my Achilles which I assume came on due to compensating for the peroneal issue.
Anyway, I hope everything is good with you.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

Last year I read this and thought it helped me during the hard, middle miles of tempos and my race.

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.
