I am tired today from school and midfoot feels a little tender (or bruised) still, so I cut it short. It usually doesn't feel this way till 3 miles, but since it was still sore from Tuesday at the start of the run, I'll wait till Saturday or Monday to start again while it heals up.
No problems from achilles and calves are completely knot-less now thanks to James

I have been having issues with my achilles too. What a pain! Any recommendations (other than rest) of what you have been doing that seems to help? Thanks.

Teena - I can't wait! I miss you! Love you too!!!

Scott - Mine was quite the acute injury (I had crepitus and a huge knob) so I was out for almost 3 months (NO running whatsoever). It was pretty hard, but worth it. I did Graston (or ASTYM) therapy through my physical therapist and I also did eccentric leg lifts with weights everyday (I would highly recommend doing those). Once the inflammation was totally gone, I started running slowly and that along with the lifts seemed to be good therapy to make it strong. I still have to be careful to not build up too fast, but I really don't have any problems as long as I keep my calf muscles very loose with rolling and using The Stick. Hope this helps!! Definitely take care of it though, I guess these things can become chronic problems if not taken care of in the beginning...just don't let it go too far... Good luck! :)

Thank you for the reply. It sounds like yours was a BIG pain. Mine isn't serious yet, but I'm trying to prevent it from getting there. I am going to see a doc on Wed. I appreciate the tips. :)
