So its been ahwile since my last post...almost 2 months. AT that point I thought I was back...thought I was almost over the injury and back to a strong finish to the 2008 running season. I WAS WRONG.
Shortly after my last post, I went to see the Sports Doc. He confirmed that I did have Achilles Tendonitis and gave me some remedies...surprisingly he did not say to take time off. He said running easy every other day would be fine. I took m own advice and took the two weeks off anyway. It killed me mentally but I got through it.
So, late September/ealry October, I began my journey into the world of LSD. Long-Slow-Distance. For the past month I have done nothing but run...long and slow. Gradually increasing my mileage, staying away from speed and hills. Just long and slow. The mileage has ticked up and now, I am in my last week of recovery...and almost 50 miles.
The pace has been nice, and while there is a litlle tenderness in the lower leg, it has been manageable. So, from here all I can do is stretch and ice, and deal with the day to day...
Still got my eye on the 5K in December...
