Achilles a little sore first thing but OK later. Decided to give it an extra day to settle down before running again. Must arrange to see Kim later in the week.

Strict instructions from Kim not to race today. Achilles a bit more sore this morning than usual, but still not too bad.
Bike from Torver through Broughton Moor, around Caw and down into Dunnerdale. Back over Walna Scar. Time includes 35 mins pushing bike up out of Dunnerdale (450m climb in about 3km!). Bottled out on a few rocky descents also. Great views of Scafell range from Dunnerdale.

Event: Twin Peaks
 

Middle Distance race, Bleathwaite. Brown, 3.7km, 210m.
Achilles slightly sore at times. Better on uphills than descents and contouring. Slightly held back which probably helped my navigation. Virtually clean race and probably my best result in a Middle Distance race.

3 hours jogging/walking around West Haigh checking control sites with Michael. Achilles niggly throughout but no worse at end than to start with.

Bottom of right calf feeling a little tight/sore this morning. Also, very unusually, a busy day at work! No exercise.

Digley loop. Achilles v slightly stiff to start but otherwise absolutely fine.

1.5 hour yoga session. Really need to work on lower back flexibility.

Winscar Res, TPT to Hadfield, Pennine Bridleway to Greenfield and back over Saddleworth Moor.
Continuing self massage. Also trying a few heel-raise exercises on stairs. Achilles only very slightly sore.
