Getting Ready for the Next 5K

I am running my next 5K on Sunday the 14th. It will be the Jingle Bells run in Toms River, NJ. I was even able to convince my mom to run it with me. I have been having a little bit of pain in my Achilles tendon over the last day. Today I ran 4 miles, two thirds at a 6mph pace and one third at a 7mph pace. By the end of the workout my Achilles was pretty sore. Luckily I bought a heating pad last night, so I will be able to put it to good use.

The run was pretty easy. I did a light lifting routine afterwards. I have decided not to run tomorrow so that I don't injure myself any more. I'd hate to have to not run the race.
