My left achilles tendon started hurting on Sunday and yesterday's run aggravated it. I wanted to run as flat as a course as I could today to avoid making it even worse so I ran out to the LPT. Achilles was very sore to start and I was hoping that it would feel better as it warmed up. Unfortunately it never did and actually started to hurt worse towards the end of the run. I didn't really feel like I was pushing the pace at all but could not run very fast because of the sore achilles.

Total Time: 1:51:13 (7:57/mile)

Please tell me you are icing!

If you want to come over after work I could put some e-stim on it and try some soft tissue stuff.

Either way ... PLEASE be careful!!! PLEASE!!!!

No icing. I'm using the ignore it and it will go away approach.

From Teena Marie on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 13:03:08 from 155.99.200.113

That's the approach I used last year!!! Remember???

Seriously. If you want to come over after work (if you don't mind a bunch of loud kids) we can at least try a few things.

In the least ... ice it!!!!

I appreciate the offer but, honestly, it is not a big deal. It flares up every once in awhile and I just have to wait it out. I promise it is not because of the loud kids. I have no idea what life is like not being surrounded by loud kids. I will throw some ice on it tonight (promise).

From Teena Marie on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 13:15:41 from 155.99.200.113

:) :) :)

Glad you will ice it!

Know that the offer is there if you change your mind. :)

Dang recurring injuries. Hope it goes away.

Be smart Andy! Do what you know is best and what you would tell the rest of us to do in the same situation.

From Rhett on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 16:39:36 from 74.32.219.217

Sounds a lot like my lower calf muscle (or as Paul has taught us, my soleus muscle) discomfort which seemed to get worse near the end of my run yesterday. I've been icing it a bunch and it does seem to help some.

Have you ever experimented with heel lifts for achilies problems? I think I'm going to try some for my soleus problem.

From Smooth on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 19:25:19 from 174.23.239.148

Oooh! Be CAREFUL Andy! I hope you've been icing it all day. You really should take up Teena's offer. She can work magic on it!!! You have nothing to loose! Best wishes!

From Teena Marie on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 21:42:59 from 174.52.45.85

Just a friendly reminder that you promised to ice tonight!

From Andy on Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 21:56:15 from 198.60.114.178

Thanks for the reminder. I am icing as we speak.
