Jog to see what state achilles is in normal trainers - fine really, only an experiment. Got hot & sweaty tho.

Then put on mountaineering boots & walked 5.5 miles (town, parks etc) - doign chores along the way. Achilles not bad at all.

Ice etc later - have been in front of tV with Comm games on a lot, with foot up on ice pack. Sad.

Easy run on Victoria park, in trail shoes to "protect" achilles (lower tab). Had hoped groudn would be wet but it wasn't - dry really.

Felt oK, achilles felt OK too, nothing brilliant, just OK.

Then some irritated feeling later - ice , ibuprofen etc. Not enjoying "managing" this soreness.

Gym - 25 mins cross trainer, 7km, then 2 x steady weights circuits, a bit of an effort
Then back to x-trainer for 15 more minutes, 4.4 km.


Achille not as perfect this morning as I'd have liked it to be. ... but not exactly screaming / even hurting (much)?

Pretty shattered from all that plus cycling there & back & then around the locality & town rest of day. Good!

Rain. Parkrun tom 9:00? I think not.

No achilles pain today. No chance to test it, tho, as work then Terrific Thursday - glued to the TV.

Probably won't make my first run back Parkrun, or a run in my high-tabbed trainers. Hmmm. Shopping tomorrow?

Achilles significantly less sore today. Good old James Ross. Continued with exercises, pain killing gel , ice etc.

Blaise Blazer mob match is looking possible now. We'll see. New trainers first tho? Or the knife?

Rest day saw physio - he noticed the high tabs on my "new" trainers are digging in right on where my achilles is puffy & sore.

Told me to get new shoes. Oh dear - they weren't cheap. no wonder my races haven't been painful but my training runs have been. Pain every morning still....

WIll be off all week and may well have to call it a season til autumn now.
