I live in upstate NY. I am the oldest of four kids. I've been running since the spring of 2003 when I decided to shed some extra weight and maybe go out for my high school cross country team. Currently am doing MS in Education. Hope to teach Social Studies one day. I have the most amazing girlfriend ever, and she frequently goes running/jogging/hiking with me. Going to marry her one day :) |

Did 1 mile of fast walking to and from car to class. Total Time: 12:00. Too afraid to try running on it because I still feel pain sometimes if I'm on my feet too much. Wishing it would just get better.
So, if my achilles is still somewhat tender what do I do? If I am taking off until March 1st, I will probably have lost all my fitness, but I don't really care about that. I just want to be able to run again. I've still been icing almost every day. But who's to say the pain is not going to just come back once I start running again?

AM - 100 pushups and 300 crunches, 3 x "plank"
11:30 AM - I went for a walk, and had a little pain in the achilles, but it was bearable. Total Walked was 1.25 miles in a time of 21:30. I'll take it as something at least. I might be trying to do some walking as it seems will be a while for recovery. Going to attempt to make a heel lift out of the insole of my shoe, as I already wear orthotics and it would be hard to put additional inserts in. (About 100 calories burned)
Did a .6 mile walk at lunch after trying to put in a heel lift. Less pain when walking, but still no way I can run. Blah. | | Comments(4) |

AM - Pushups and Situps, 200 crunches, Achilles is a lot better just from icing a couple times yesterday. Tried to elevate it a bit more. I think there might be something to this heel lift after all! Trying to stay positive.
Good luck with the run Kory! Stay safe. And to all our other FRB members out here struggling with injuries and nagging downers, think positive, think spring, and you're in my prayers. As John "the Penguin" Bingham would say: Waddle on, friends. | | Comments(1) |

| AM - pushups and crunches. My achilles is feeling good right now. Not tender to the touch any more and no swelling. I hope this continues tonight at work. Really looking forward to what I used to take for granted - an easy, leisurely run outside!
I think I can? <<<< I KNOW I CAN!!!
On a sad note, I took a look at my Garmin today and noticed it's covered in dust. Can't believe it's been like three weeks since I last used it. OH how it will feel to strap that baby on and head out on the roads! Come on healing! | | Comments(3) |

| AM - Pushups and crunches; Getting ready to go take a LAST test for grad school (kind of like a GRE) @ 1. Achilles isn't inflamed and doesn't hurt so I think it's getting better. Really wanting to go for a run to start off March the right way. | | Add Comment |
