Woke up to a tight right achilles / calf, which took awhile to foam roll and loosen up. Went out for an easy jog with more stretching, rolling and icing after.

After spending the last few days doing extra stretching and yoga to loosen up my legs, I made it .1 miles before my Achilles started hurting. So, I turned and walked home - no point in rushing it. Instead, I went out for a bike ride. I tried to only track when I was actually doing work, and not just flying downhill.

59:36 - 11.27mi with 1200ft of climb.

Spurred on by the adrenalin boost from watching the 5000, I tested out my Achilles that has been bothering me. It felt a little tight early on, but quickly loosened up. Thanks to all the stretching, foam rolling, and yoga, my legs felt better than they have in months. Each mile was between 7:25-7:32.

Jogged to the park and back to do a pushup/pullup work out. Leg felt good, but I need to keep up the preventative measures.
