Unfortunately, the niggle in my achilles has failed to disappear and, since a little 5k on Sunday, I've not dared venture out. I'm going to try and give it a run out at lunchtime today but if it's still given me grief, I've decided the only option is to join the local gym and get myself on the cross-trainer. Cycling is ok, but it's not great, the cross-trainer is as close as you can get to running without the impact.
I'm told that if I concentrate on getting my 16 mile race completed on Sunday, then there is no real need for me to run in the two weeks leading up to the big one. But of course, I need to maintain my fitness, hence access to a cross-trainer and a swimming pool would be ideal. Fingers crossed I can get out along the river at lunchtime without any bother.
