Washington, D.C. From 14th and Independence Ave., to the Lincoln Memorial via the Viet Nam Memorial, then on the Ohio Dr. to the Rock Creek Trail, to P Street, NW, then to the Dupont Circle Metro Station. It was about 81 F when I started and I felt a bit tired still from the weekend. I ran okay. There were lots of people out. At just 12:00 minutes into the run, my left achilles started hurting and in a few more steps, I felt it best to stop and stretch. It was similar to what had happened on my right calf and achilles tendon in March. I took it easier and bailed-out from my planned run to the Woodley Park Metro Station.
I guess I'll be doing more field checking and focusing more on cycling for a while. :( Although it's logical to conclude that I've been overcompensating for my right calf/achilles tendon, I don't really think that's what's happening. I'm guessing it's age, diet or even sleep related. I've been having tendon problems in different places.
