I hope your achilles is OK!!!

So how are you feeling today? Maybe you need to run in the pool now that you have your "pool body"!

Get that achilles better. Be smart and let it rest a bit.

Took the day off today. Going for a longish run tomorrow on the trail. It feels much better after 2 days off -- I've had chronic achilles pain for the past 5 years...it usually feels better after the first mile or two. Nothing to worry about. If it hurts too much, I'll take a little break.

Kathie -- yes, you are right. I should flaunt it while I got it!!! :)

Keep taking care of yourself....if you don't theres nobody else that can or will.It's tough gettin' up for a run in the heat. SGM 12 weeks away!!!!

How is the achilles? How did the trail run go?
