so, the friday before my arch problems started, I started a 14-day prescription of levaquin for a possible local infection. I had heard stuff about antibiotics and tendons (maybe on AP), so I asked the doctor "I'm running a lot, anything I should know about the antibiotic?" he says with a laugh, "nope, just don't fall down." surprize...some scary shit on google. I guess it could have been worse, although my wrists were also sore for a while, and I've had minor headaches and ringing in my ears, all of which have been linked to that. I have one dose left for tonight, which I'll definitely skip, and probably take it easy through the weekend.

found an easy way to run to prospect hill from work (2.4 miles). there's a fair amount of grass on the way there which is always good.

5x4min uphill intervals, a mix of road,trail,and terrain, mostly steep. I wanted to avoid the impact that might have hurt my arches last week, but the incline was probably a dumb move, as I could feel the stretch there anyway. I had a hard time running down the hill far enough during the recovery so that I wouldn't be back at the top of the hill before 4mins was up, so I ended up taking more like 4.5min recoveries instead of 3-4.

depending on how my arch feels tomorrow, I might take a few days off or x-training (or maybe mapping!) if it seems like I'm not recovering.

running at lunch with mark. the weather was pretty nice for a change, and my arch felt ok, but not great. I was hoping it would be all good after yesterday's rest. stuck to 6 instead of 8
