I'm right there with ya. My achilles has been bugging for about 3 weeks now. Worst! Good luck.

Nice long run. What did you use for fuel? Gu? :-) Really though that's great considering - hope the achilles/foot behaved.

LOL. I guess that is the good thing about these short runs. I haven't eaten in like 6-7 hours. LOL
Scott--is anything working for you?

I was kinda happy. 3 runs in a week isn't too awful...if you are a newb...LOL

Wow scott you make me look like a weiner. I have got to be doing something wrong if your achilles is bugging you but you are still busting out 9 miles...grrr.

Baby steps are still a step in the right direction. Next week you'll make it longer!

Yes Tracy. Patience is not my strong suit so thank you for reminding me that I am doing something.

Carolyn I like your math. Rat-I have been. Just waiting to see if my foot is up for 2 tomorrow :)

Here is what I have been doing and it seems to help- heel inserts, not running hills, icing after every run, stretching (leg lifts) and resting more than normal. The biggest thing is no hills. I can run pretty much pain free as long as I am not running hills. I'm dying to run some though. Its been 3 weeks. Oh I also went to the doc and he put me on a steroid (flex :) ).

Scott--thanks...the icing after runs seems to be helping and so is my splint for at night (mornings were killer) and of course flexing my foot a lot to stretch it out.

So sorry about the Achilles stuff, April! Annoying to say the least. Do you have it taped?
From april27 on Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 12:03:14 from 99.188.251.180
no tape. just splinting and icing :)
