Nice post-rainstorm coolish "long" run on the trails this evening. Total distance 5.4 miles, but I'm still mostly walking/lunging/calf raising/knee lifting the uphills, so we'll call it 5. Have been running 3 or 4 miles every other day for a couple weeks now, still babying the Achilles. No significant improvement, but not worse either, so I think that's as the good doctor figured. With this massive long run now on the books, I will start tracking mileage, attitude and progress once again - whew. On the plus side, I'm only up about 6-8 lbs over the last two months of very limited activity.
