That's good to hear. Is icing part of your routine? I used to not take it seriously but ever since I have been icing 4-5 times a day my achilles is much improved. Go figure.

Thanks. I have been icing, but probably need to step it up a little.

Another thing you may want to try is stretching out and/or massaging the calf to try to reduce the tension on the achilles tendon.

I randomly clicked on your blog just to get a feel of who we had now - I used to do it a lot more often in the past but not so much now with 8 kids - and I was pleased to observe that our pattern of marathon PR improvement is maintained. You improved by almost 30 minutes since you joined the blog. Congratulations!

Thanks, I will try that also. Being on the blog has definitely helped improve my times.
