8.1 miles - 57:50.
Iced the achilles before I ran and took two ibuprofen. We'll see how it feels later today and tomorrow morning.
I jumped out of bed Monday morning @ 4:15 when my 4yr old daughter called out "DAD!". Turns out that she was too lazy to pull up her own blanket. I love getting woken up early in the morning for blanket duty. Anyways, in the process of getting startled out of bed, I almost fell down when I put weight on my right foot. The 8 mile run might not have been the best idea two days after my initial achilles soreness.
Has anyone ever had an achilles strain or achilles tendinitis before? My first marathon is October 17th..... such a bummer to miss days running for the healing process.
Any suggestions/preventative measures? I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of B.S. after every run. |
