Spent the week in Atlanta on business and then in visiting family, and the weather was strangely similar to KC in temperature for most of the time. Finally on Friday it started warming up a little bit and I headed outdoors for a 5-miler in my brother's neighborhood. Saturday I went to a park where I've run before and reeled off a 6.6-miler. The one on Friday was somewhat tough since I hadn't run since the weekend before and of course due to the overeating that comes with business travel. The run yesterday was much better. It helped that the path around the lake was flatter than the hills in the neighborhood.
With heel cushioning fastened to my right Achilles tendon I felt no pain. I put some cushioning into the shoes I wear at work and afterward and that has helped a lot. In fact, on Wednesday and Thursday both I did quite a bit of walking and felt great. I think I've turned the corner and can now concentrate on getting into shape for an April half-marathon.
