Operation Achilles Rehab update:
- It has done great this week! The only way I can describe it is it feels like the itchy stage of a bad scrape. So it doesn't hurt anymore and it doesn't get inflamed, but it does want to be "itched" (aka massaged or rolled out) after I workout. I'm starting to believe that it actually will heal now!
- The PT had to ask me which side it was this time because he couldn't tell the difference ;)
- He's now having me increase the intensity of achilles strengthening exercises so it will be nice and strong for running - I get to jump!
- Two more weeks of no running
- I can start to introduce running in 3 weeks
- Gradually increase from there, supplementing with x-training
- He's still saying I can run Ogden! I don't think I'll race it, and I may need to walk 6 of the 20 (or more), but I've decided I want to be a part of it either way. I'm excited! :)
