I thought I had addressed my Achilles issue well enough from October until now by taking October to December off, and then by introducing running to my training gradually, as well as icing, rolling, and stretching. Today my Achilles was sore the entire run. It was never terribly painful, but sore nevertheless. So, I've decided to take 3-4 weeks off to ice and "rest" it. Therefore, I'll be picking up my cycling milage to take up the fitness slack.
I am discouraged, and aggrivated, truth be told, but I'm going to try to keep a positive outlook and move forward the best I can.
Peace,
~Sam

Hang in there. Sorry to hear you are still having some difficulty, but I think you are absolutely taking the right approach to recovery.
ReplyDeleteIronMin. Thank your for both your sympathy and support. I hope I find myself where I would like to be after this four week running hiatus.
