Achilles felt better this morning so I was hopeful as I set out on my 5 mile recovery run.  Two steps into the run it started to hurt again and I was running with a significant limp.  As I was limping along, Kathie's words were echoing in my head: "Do what you would tell the rest of us to do in the same situation."  Got to the 1/2 mile marker and turned around and headed home.  I'm icing it now hoping that it will feel better by tomorrow.

Glad you listened to Kathie (er your own advice) and not be stubborn like me. Keep icing. Do you have any KT tape? Hope it feels better by tomorrow!

smart move Andy. Hopefully its just a minor issue.

From Kathie on Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 12:51:44 from 63.248.105.188

Yes I am glad you listened to your own advice! You should try the magic KT tape.

You did the right thing Andy. Hope the achilles issue is a minor, temporary setback. And hope the rest of us can follow your example next time we have one of "those" kind of pains.

Sorry the achilles is acting up. I hope I haven't jinxed you.

See ... good thing you have your harem!!!! :)

Seriously Andy, the offer is still on the table. If you want to stop by we can e-stim and tape it.

I am so so so glad you listened to Kathie.
