What a discouraging day. After 2 days of rest / recovery I was hoping the achilles would feel better. I am not noticing it when doing normal walking around. I do not feel it at all without shoes. And only a little with shoes on. So I go to the pool and do a quick swim. Then was planning on a couple miles on the treadmill followed by a couple more on the elliptical. I began warming up with a walk on the treadmill. But I could feel it twinging so I decided to skip it all together. On the elliptical I stopped after 4:15. Never was there enough pain to make me not be able to run. Rather I figured if I can feel it, then I better rest it more. I also tried the AirDyne But cold feel it on there too.

So I went home. I guess the proper thing to do would have been put my bathing suit back on and get in the pool for more laps. Or some aqua jogging. But the desire was gone. Tomorrow I will plan on more laps and running in the pool.

Swim - 1200 yards - 21:34

Elliptical - 4:15 - Which I guess equaled a 1/2 mile.

Weight: 0.00

Sorry to hear the achilles is still acting up. Rest it so you can heal quickly and get back pursuing your goals.

Thanks for the encouragement. All of 2007 seems like one injury after another. I cannot wait until the New Year.
