Sun 10/24 - AM 60 minutes incl. 5k in 17:35
Another bit of sandbagging/athletic tourism. Sartorius/gracilis/etc. stiff and sore, took a long time to warm up and even then the first few steps off the line were awkward. Still, the left thigh felt much better than it did yesterday. Achilles still somewhat sore and limiting but as previously noted, feels better than it did a week or two ago. Pace felt a lot harder than it should have, not sure to what extent that came from dragging the leg vs. being dead tired from staying up late reading. First gradually uphill mile in 5:22, next two in 5:45. Out and back course so the last mile was mostly downhill, not exactly an impressive finish but I was on autopilot by then. The lead vehicle was a cyclist with the eponymous Kyle (age 5) in tow, which was quite entertaining. He occasionally pedaled, usually after being exhorted to do so. Cooldown was abbreviated to get to awards ceremony, expecting leg to feel worse than it did but still feels weak. After lunch took a walk in the Lynn Woods which was pleasant and very hilly.
