Well the hugs for my legs are not miracle workers, but they do help. Muscles felt better today than they have in a while, still very tight though, going to have to be diligent about stretching routines.
Today I ran for the first time in more than a week. I hit the field while it was still raining and it reminded me of why I started running in the first place. It was a flashback to track practices, going for a warm-up run, doing drills and intervals, a core set and cool down. Well maybe not exactly that, but I did warm up, focusing on foot placement and take off, did a half an hour worth of drills, a couple short fartleks, again, focusing on foot placement, and then cooled down and did some core work. All in all, about 60 minutes of run work, it felt really good, and my feet are a little sore, and my achilles is a little tight, but I think that if I do the same thing 3 times a week, it will be enough to give my training a kick-start and get me over the hump of this injury without pushing it too hard.
It felt good to run, felt good to challenge myself. Soon it will be time for a wetsuit and tri clothes and then the races begin. Less than 6 weeks now until the first one. Its getting close, and I'm so incredibly on board for this new adventure!
