Went out for an easy run this evening. About halfway through my Achilles suddenly started shooting me with sharp pains. It lasted for more than a quarter, so I stopped and tried to stretch, but that made it worse. Not wanting to hurt it further, I stopped to walk, but walking was worse. Tried walking backwards, sideways, tumbling... nothing worked. Finally I tried a quick shuffle, discovered it was painless, and within a quarter mile I was back up to 7:20 pace with no pain. Weird. It's not giving any pain now, so I'll throw some heat on it tonight and see what happens tomorrow.
