I pulled weeds yesterday for like an hour. And I hate squating to that so it was like I was doing a million deadlifts. yes my hammies are screaming.

Today I printed a training schedule for the 1/2 in November. 18 weeks away. I'm a little upset that it only goes up to mileage for the week of 19. But maybe that is a good thing? The race is nice and flat so that shouldn't bug the IT (if that decides to rear up again) or the achilles. I"m just not sure of how 'careful' to be. I feel like I"m going backwards. Most of the traininng is only 3 days a week (with cross training) but I know me and I hate x-training. Thoughs? I printed this up from RW site. Maybe I should change it from moderate to something else. Or just every week add in an extra 2 or 3 miler? then atleast I would have 4 days. Help!

Walking Miles: 0.80

You're asking the wrong guy.

I say do whatever feels good. Go as often and as many miles as you can without bothering the achilles. Have you tried heel inserts yet? They seem to work very well for me.

Scott-I meant to ask you. Do you put them in both shoes? I thought it would be weird to just put them in the hurting foot cuz I thought then I would be all lopsided.

Burt-you are a machine--never hurt!

I think you should learn to love x training! And I think you should continue the good work on healing the Achilles!

um, you definitely want the heel inserts in both shoes ;)
