It's been two weeks since I first pulled up on a training run with a pain in my achilles tendon. Since then, the only exercise I've been getting is my regular cycle to work and the Kingston 16 mile race. Other than that, I've been resting it and massaging around the injury and the calf muscle above it, which had completely tensed up, as well as icing and elevating it whenever I can at home.
I went for a gentle 3 mile jog this morning and noted that someone has turned off the heating since I last went for an early morning run! Genuine signs of a frost. As for the achilles, well I could feel it, but it was a definite improvement on Sunday. I didn't want to risk damaging it further, having almost nursed it back to health, so 3 miles was my limit. I'm not feeling any more pain now than when I set out, so it's given me the confidence that I can go for another run on Saturday and a 10-12 miler on Sunday.
