It's 6:15 a.m. and I have to be in the lobby in an hour to meet my colleagues and go to the airport. Flying back to New Orleans --- back to the heat, humidity, and the office. I'll be back in Chicago next Saturday for the Shamrock Shuffle, but a week in New Orleans will do me good.
I ran 6.5 miles yesterday. It was raining and cold, so it was on a treadmill. It was hard and my achilles started to "scream" around 5k -- but I walked for 2 minutes and then started again. My goal was to run 7 miles, but it hurt and I bargained with myself as I was running. I was exhausted afterwards. I spent about 30 total minutes stretching and then iced. I popped ibuprofen at dinner and again before bed. I don't want to jinx myself but I actually feel fine today. The true test will be tomorrow at the LSU Med School 5k in Audubon Park.
I'm still VERY happy with the Adidas shoes. I highly recommend them.
All in all, great trip to Chicago. Good work wise. Ate at amazing restaurants (as an aside, go to The Girl and the Goat http://www.girlandthegoat.com/ if you are in Chicago). Was able to run again. Nervous about the Shamrock Shuffle next weekend in Chicago, but I will finish it even if it isn't pretty.
