I feel good enough to run now, but my achilles is still a little sore - this is two or three months since I last ran and five or six months since I've really put in many miles.  The achilles is a rough one for healing I guess.  Any suggestions for avoiding a repeat injury? 

Anyhow, I'd been biking here and there over the past couple of weeks to save the achilles, but it froze me out yesterday morning.  I had to switch to the run if I was going to do anything.  Running felt, at least spiritually/emotionally, fantastic.  I've got me a real love affair with running and that's the truth.

Just take it easy and slowly add some mileage back. I would check your shoes too. I found that certain shoes were death to my feet once I got pregnant - even ones I was fine running in pre-pregnancy. Wierd, I know, but switching shoes solved the chronic arch pain I was getting.
