Plan C Revised

Running is not helping my running cause. In fact, it is causing me physical, as well as mental, and emotional pain. Therefore, I have found peace in my previously discussed Plan C...that is if it is revised. My intention now is to not attempt to do any walk training...that seems silly. I know how to walk, and the fitness gains will not outweigh the possible detriment it may cause my Achilles. I've also committed, and perhaps this goes without saying, to not doing any running training, because as I mentioned earlier, running is not helping my running cause.
The revision is not-so-much in my training, as much as in my race plan. My training will consist of swimming, cycling, and rehabbing. The difference in my race plan is that I won't be showing up expecting to simply walk. I will be showing up expecting to be able to walk/run.
I think the two successes I've had this year in attempting to run (Grand Duathlon and Triceratops Triathlon) have shown me that my running fitness seems to still be there on some level, despite my not having been able to specifically train to run. Perhaps my many years of running are allowing for this.
Will this work? I don't know. However, I believe this plan is my best chance, and this gives me the hope I need to keep me positive, calm, and...sane.

My GPS keeps telling me "Recalculating," while I continue to change my route, on the Road to Ironman Louisville, but I'm still looking to go 140.6 miles.
