I walked to do the rest of the Street Scramble vetting for Brew HA-HA. Greg scouted a ton of fun controls, so I've got plenty to choose from in making the final course.

Again, it was fun, and again, I tried to walk briskly for much of the time. I really tried to push my walking pace on one stretch toward the end, and I ended up doing 12:45 pace for a little over half a mile. Although my heart rate barely grazed 100 beats per minute, a faster walk would have felt forced and uncomfortable.

My left, lower leg felt fine during my time out, which was a welcome change from Sunday.

C • Number of controls 2

My left soleus is sore today.

I walked to vet most of the Brew HA-HA Street Scramble course. I was out for 3.5 hours, including stops, but even most of the walking time was at less than training intensity.

My injured left achilles hurt some of the time (and not at all at other/most times), although it seemed more like a lower soleus muscle or soleus/achilles junction injury.

I got 7.5 hours sleep at night, then a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, on the bus ride from Fort Worden to ISB. I was tired for most of the day. I attended a few talks, including the inspiring closing talk by Lee Hood, on ISB's next 10+ years.

My ankle/achilles injury was stiff in the morning, as usual, but it wasn't too inflamed during the day. Still, it continues to hurt during normal activities, like walking on uneven surfaces or down stairs. It hurts when hyperflexing or pronating, but not when hyperextending (without load), and heavy loading during flexion continues not being a problem.

I jogged to vet some controls for the ISB vampire O at Fort Worden. My ankle/achilles area is still a bit painful during most activity.

My left achilles area was still quite stiff and sore in the morning but loosened up and felt better as the day progressed.
