My achilles was sore after Saturday's run, which was a little strange.  So, I kept it non-impact this morning.  I did an interval workout on the spinning bike.  I warmed up 15 minutes, and then did 12 sets of 3 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy.  I did a straight speed ride, a hill climb, and jumps, and repeated that 4 times.  Then, I cooled down until I hit 80 minutes of riding.

SLCC loop.  I felt great.  No baby pains.  However, the stupid achilles tendon flared up again.  Seriously, who gets hurt when they are not even really training for anything?  Oh well.  At least I have plenty of time to get it better.  The downside is, I can't take ibuprofen.  Of course, that means I can't mask the pain, so that's good.
