I ran a little this morning.  Achilles should be ok, though the pain migrated up toward the calf a little.  Still kind of an overall unbalanced feeling, like one leg is doing more work than the other.  All easy runs this week, then maybe I'll be fixed.

It did feel good to be running again though.  Calm, quiet foggy morning.  But I still didn't feel like going any farther than this.

That unbalanced feeling is an uneasy one. I don't like it myself. Good to see you back Joe.

Good to see you out and about. You know the routine. Ice and self massage. Not sure stretching is a good idea for this area or the plantar fascia, but I'm an academic not a doctor!

Fingers crossed that this is only a minor setback. You paid your dues all summer - you deserve winter running!
