Checking and taping control sites for the Easter Prologue with Anna. Ridiculously wet out there and more overgrown (mostly grass but some blackberry) than is preferable for a sprint race. Hopefully both these problems will have disappeared by race day. Saw 2 red-bellied black snakes and 1 turtle, and ate hundreds of blackberries. If there was a GPS track for our route from the car to the competition area you would see our drunken weave from blackberry bush to blackberry bush.

Achilles no worse this morning after run yesterday which seems a good sign. It's still pretty tender to touch though. Have made a physio appointment for next week.

Around the block at lunch. Achilles felt ordinary in the first half but okay near the end, including up hills. Maybe it's getting better.

A little warm up jog and then some backwards running down a gentle hill on the street outside. This was a test to see if the achilles was up to a more intensive eccentric exercise. So far, so good but I'll have to wait and see how it is in the morning.

Calves/achilles again
