Workout: V02 max 9mi. w/5 X 1000m @ 5K pace

See previous post. We got back from the beach early enough for me to head out to the track and do this, but since I had a "rest" day for the next morning session, I decided to defer to then and give my Achilles a few more hours to mend.

Wednesday AM I headed to the TC Williams track, and felt much better. I did a few specialize Achilles stretches the night before, right before my workout, and at two stops during the workout. Seems to be back to almost 100% now.

On a somewhat quirky related note...there were a few other guys at the track early that morning doing laps. One dork had brought a barbell with what looked to be 100lbs in weight on it which he situated at the end of the 100m straightaway. He would jog a lap or two, stop and do some pushups, then spend 10 minutes doing all sorts of deadlifts with the barbell. Like I said...dork.
