Since it clearly hurts more when I'm on the inside of my foot, I went out and bought some hard plastic insoles, and wore them all day. Doing some calf stretches. Icing one more time when I got home.

Running yesterday was fine, but afterwards my right ankle was a little painful. I went for a walk with Mei-An in the early evening, and that put the ankle over the edge. Limping when I got home.

This morning maybe even worse, limping all day. Consulting the Internet, I think this is posterior tibial tendonitis. I iced a few times during the night.

Goddard perimeter road at noon. Kind of on the warm side. And my ankles don't feel great.

Greenbelt Park Perimeter Trail. Nice day, 80s but shady on the trail. Unusually tired afterwards.

Easy run. New shoes. I found one of the last pairs of Adrenaline 15s available. I'm not a big fan of either the 14s or the 16s, but the guy at RnJ said the 15s were more like the earlier models, which I liked a lot. Unfortunately, they sold the only pair they had in my size while I dithered about it, so I got these from 6pm.com on clearance. All the reasonable colors were gone, so I got the weird looking ones.

Intervals at Einstein track. 4x1000 with 3 min jog between. Goal was 4:19. Actual times: 4:19, 4:20, 4:20, 4:25. Yeah, that last one was hard. Maybe a 4:00 rest would have helped keep things even. It was mid 70s, partly sunny.

I think the last time I did these things was in May, and the times were a few seconds better. Since then I've been working on more slow distance. I'll try another one of these next week.
