AM:  Went out to do a normal Draper loop.  At mile 4 my right achilles got really tight and my foot actually fell asleep.  Really weird.  Anyone else ever have this happen before?  Guess I will do some more miles this evening.  Legs were tired but felt really good other wise.  8 AP

 

PM:  gorgeous sunset run around Draper Park Loop.  Legs are tired. 7:40AP

Yessir I have. I actually get this quite frequently. I ran the last 5 miles of the AF Half with my right foot asleep. For me it only happens to my right foot. It's a circulation issue caused by extreme tightness in the achilles'/soleus. I can run through it but it's annoying. If I stop and relax my foot it usually takes a minute or two for the blood to rush back in. It's no bueno! It just forces me to use my foam roller/stick a couple times a week. If I don't proactively massage the area at least once a week I can almost count on it happening. Hills and speedwork require the highest effort in the lower calf and consequently cause the most severe tightness.

And sorry for the long post. But I would've appreciated someone explaining this to me a 5 years ago instead of putting the pieces together myself :)

makes perfect sense. The numbness went away a few minutes after I stopped. Must be the hills, wo's and races. Not to big a deal. Probably my calves needed a break from the ramping up mileage. ;)BOSOTN!
