| | Slightly icy roads for a pre-dawn run, but I got done before the ice-rain started, which was nice. 11th-Shore Drive. On the return on Jacobson my left achilles tightened up quite a bit, enough to concern me. Stretched and massaged some, and it didn't bother me during the day once I got warm. Maybe something to do with me tip-toeing some on the slick roads. At least I'll hope so.

| | Bad night. I had planned a tempo run on the treadmill, but a mile into it my left achilles got sore. Pretty sore too, by mile 2 I needed to quit. So I stretched well and then iced at home. Hoping this can be solved quickly, I was hoping for a better week here.

| | 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.

| | Rode the recumbent bike at the Y again, 12 miles this time in about 48 minutes. Stretched, did core, then went over to the indoor track. Walked two laps, then decided to try and run a bit. Made about 4 steps and that was it. Too painful on every step.
I'm fairly certain this is achilles tendinitis on my left leg. The achilles itself has felt "thick" or a little hard, and now the pain is gradually moving lower, toward my ankle. I'll shut it down a bit and focus on icing/stretching/rest, see how this goes. Keeping somehat fit will be a priority, since I do still have a plane ticket purchased for Japan. I'll reassess the "best case scenario" in a week or so.
