A short run in the heat (7:45 is too late to start a run on a day where it is forecast to, and did, get above 40) and with a grumpy Achilles again. I think the reason it was happy on Wed and not now is that I haven't done the exercises as regularly for the last couple of days because of the house painting project and not done any massage or stretching. I suspect it is going to be extra reactive to changes in muscle tightness for a while.

'Tennis' training at UQ set by Wendy. This exercise is essentially o-intervals in pairs, taking turns to start with a 20s lead. I was with Anna but started very slowly so I could see how my Achilles was faring, and it was feeling good so I slowly upped the pace through successive intervals until I was more or less at full pace at the end. Technique was okay; not as smooth through some tricky sections as I would like, perhaps I need to slow down more to read the map in more detail as a part of my process.

From work to Toowong including the Legacy Way diversion. Tried to take it really slow and be nice to my Achilles but it was shitty anyway.
