Met at Jon's house then headed east on 3100 north to the canal. Did 3.5 miles out then came all the back on the canal which added about another mile to the run.

Not going to lie, my left achille is flared again, no pain but alot of swelling. Not sure why it keeps coming back.... hopefully some anti-inflammatories will help.

sorry to hear about the achilles. Those are almost as annoying as ITB. You might try a shoe with a 8 to 10 mm drop. And obviously icing as much as possible. Have a great Christmas.

Agreed Fritz. The only positive I can take out of it is that I can still run. It is uncomfortable but not painful. But it's to the point where there is so much inflammation it sounds and feels like I am walking on dried leaves.

Have a great Christmas also!
