May 26 Thu 18.00 2:34:07 0:08:34 Morning beach strand run with Queanh.  Sharp Right achilles pain @mile 15 scared me so I slowed significantly and stopped multiple times to massage/stretch.
After a couple miles, the pain was gone, but I kept a safe easy pace and adjusted form to land more flat footed (made a big difference). I'm planning on calf-dips for stretching/strengthening.

Jul 30 Sat 21.00 2:57:00 0:08:26 Yesterday I ate 5 meals, about ever two hours. I snacked all day in-between meals (including two protein bars, rice crackers and celery), and then I had a dinner of turkey meat & brown rice w/veggies followed by a full bowl of quinoa pasta with ground turkey & marinara sauce w/veggies before bed. And I didn't even run. Yet, my morning RHR = 48, and my morning weight = 128.4 (that tha heck?! 3 lbs under normal). Man, I even cut my mileage short this week. Why the weight loss?
The run felt great, I made an effort to keep around 8:15 pace/mi.  I'm trying to stuff my face today, jeez.
