Six miles on the bike at lower pressure, so not to stress my achilles too much (though that keeps my heart rate way down). Then a hike on the backside of Green Mountain for the holiday (they're logging near the top and Vista Loop trail was closed, which is too bad because the sun finally came out a bit).
I could feel my achilles during the hike, but nothing too painful. I can tell the achilles is loosening somewhat as I ice/stretch/massage. It doesn't have the firm "knot" that was there earlier this week. I hope that's a good sign.
