Honolulu, HI: Well after two weeks off to get over a couple of injuries, I started back today to see how I have recovered.  It was warm this morning (75) and felt good to get out.  I wanted to take it real easy today and keep it short to see how my achilles is doing and to try to slowly build back up to normal.  I started off by walking about a 1/4 mile then started running real easy.  I felt pretty good running and didn't have any pain.  I was very aware of my achilles as I was running.  It did feel tight and it felt funny a couple of times.  I am not sure if it is still a problem or if I was just being over sensitive to it.  It was hard to keep it slow and easy.  I wanted to pick it up but kept it slow and wanted to see how I feel after a day.  I just plan on running every other day this week to ease back into.  I don't want to have any more down time if at all possible.

Honolulu, HI:  It was warm this morning but very windy today.  I ran down by the beach and back since I was only going a few miles.  I just trying to continue to build back up and see how the achilles responds.  It felt pretty good today but did have a couple of shots of pain.  It doesn't feel back to 100% which concerns me.  Taking two weeks off and then still have the problem would be a big disappointment.  Most of the run was good though and I will continue to build back up and see how it goes.  I am hoping it is just tightness from inactivity.  Next run will be Sat and will see how the foot does in the meantime.  Heading back home today and looking forward to that.  This should be the last trip of the year so looking forward to having time with the family.
