Ran 10-miles outside with a 3-mile tempo in the middle (6:27,6:48,6:33).  Right achilles is a tad sore.  This is nothing new (felt it since last September off and on), but felt the next to log it as something to look back on.  It's mostly sore after sub-7min type workouts.

Your running is looking good. Did you add any inserts or start using a different shoe since last Sept? Is the achilles sore behind the heel or higher? I'm not a doctor, but play one on TV.

Robert,

Just foolish running on my part. Sprained my ankle 5 days before a 20k in September (nice big bulb) and ran it anyway (sub-7 pace). That's when the achille's soreness began. Then ran a full marathon in October w/the achilles a bit tender (ankle was feeling a bit better, still slightly swollen). Then sprained my ankle pretty badly in the woods in November (could barely walk on it, very swollen) and ran a half marathon a day or two later (couldn't wear my light trainers, hurt to even step in them). Pr'd in the half (mind over matter) and then crashed and burned in my late November marathon (achilles ached the entire way). Fought my way through December, before realizing I just needed to rest (went from ankle to knee etc.) All that to say, I'm feeling the best I've felt since last September and just need to start using common sense...oh, just looked back up at your question- it's above the heal.
