Hi Coach, I didnôt have a good week this time. I managed an easy 30 on Sunday and 45min on Monday, but didnôt run Tue or Wed. Although I didnôt feel anything during these runs, the same discomfort remains (Achilles). 
Yesterday I went out for the fartlek session but didnôt feel confident enough to finish it. For the first time, felt some discomfort while running. It wasnôt hurting, but was feeling something there.
Tonight I want to go out and try the fartlek again just to make sure that Iôm either OK or not. Depending on this, we decide if I should run or not tomorrow.
I already have an appointment on Monday with an orthopedist to get a professional opinion about this.
Iôm feeling down, Coach. I worked hard for these two weeks to be well prepared for two races that I know I could improve a lot my times. I already had a great result last Saturday and I know I can have a better result tomorrow.
Iôm not sure if I should race tomorrow, even if I donôt feel anything at all tonight.
What do you think?
