No better on the left achilles today, I walked a bit then tried to run slowly on the treadmill. Didn't hurt much until about a mile in, then it was bad enough that I needed to stop. Not sharp pain, but a deep ache that's exacerbated on every step. I stepped off then rode the exercise bike for 6 miles (about 25 mins, heart rate got up to about 135). I'll take it easy another day, keep massaging/icing/ibuprofen, and hope this is just a strain or inflammation.
