Road bike 2:15:00 [2] 36.0 mi (3:45 / mi)
Achilles still stiff this morning so decided another day off running wouldn't hurt. Road bike over Saddleworth Moor to Greenfield, up to Denshaw and back over Buckstones to Huddersfield. Low visibility over the tops and my lack of lights upset the odd driver.

Just a little worried that I'd overdone it yesterday and, sure enough, it was a bit stiffer this morning than usual. However it loosened off with some stretching and walking about. Rest day with stretching and ice.

Trail running 52:00 [3] 6.0 mi (8:40 / mi)
In Leeds for the Fat Rascals chasing sprint but didn't want to risk two races in one day. Ran from Holt Park to Adel Woods, down the valley to Meanwood Park and back through Boddington Halls and Lawnswood Cemetery. Quite a bit hillier and rougher underfoot than I've run on yet. Achilles starting to object by the end. Ice afterwards and a gentle walk to Goldenacre Park.

EBOR Middle Distance, Skipwith Common. Green course, 4.2km.
Perfect area for my comeback, except for the amount of water. Waded one control, but otherwise clean. Nice to be back. Fingers crossed that I won't be hobbling in the morning.

Road bike 3:30:00 [2] 57.0 mi (3:41 / mi)

Same problem as yesterday. Decided to go a bit further today. Headed to Bridgnorth first (by different route to yesterday) and then a hilly loop of Shropshire; Brown Clee and Wenlock Edge and back to Ironbridge for re-fueling. Back across country to Wolverhampton. Shame to fall a mile short of 100 for the weekend.
3x10 heel raises. Weak (knackered?) but not painful.

I had nothing better to do than go with Janet to her ping pong tournament in Wolverhampton. What do you do with a spare afternoon in Wolverhampton? Definitely avoid the football (Undy wind-up..).
Headed west, keeping to back roads and trying to avoid the showers. Stopped off at Ironbridge for some Civils sight seeing before heading south to Bridgnorth and back across country to Wolves.

Achilles less sore this morning. Another Physio session with Janine. She didn't seem too concerned about the golf having upset my achilles: apparently it is to be expected as I'm not ready for hills yet. Also, the golf shoes wouldn't have helped. However, it should settle down again quickly.
She got properly stuck in to my feet and partciularly the outside of my calf (peroneal?). Calf pretty sore afterwards but achilles less so.

Loop of the Forest of Bowland, starting in Dolphinholme. Clockwise this time (opposite to last time- 18 Sept) and with slightly more distance around the north edge; inc. Abbeystead. The trough definitely easier from the north.
Calf sore from earlier massage but no real problem.

Stiff and sore in all sorts of places this morning. Most worryingly, is the achilles. However, not so sore as after previous attempts to re-start running. Rest today with some gentle stretching and ice. Hopefully it'll settle back down quickly.

Golf at Alfreton. Achilles getting worse. Golf worse too, but perhaps not surprising after alcoholic handicapping until 2am! Still, I finished with a miraculous putt from off the green for a birdie which will help with enthusiasm for next time.
Ice as soon as I got home.

Achilles no worse this morning which is a real relief! Now I can start a very steady build-up. Alternate days to start with.
So back on the mountain bike: south from Kendal to Arnside, Silverdale and Warton. Back along National Cycle Route 6. Misty to start with but bright sunshine by the end. Lovely.

Very steady run on soft (well boggy) ground. No pain at all, but, as ever, the real test is how it feels tomorrow morning.

Raining so rest day.
Did do some heel raise exercises though: 3 sets of 3x10 varying the angle of foot across the step. No adverse reaction to this so ready to try and start running again.
