Ended up a letdown after yesterday. Started with the intention of 2 hours, and the first 40 minutes or so were encouraging, if not quite as good as yesterday. This time, though, instead of starting iffily and warming up, the Achilles started flaring up about 40 minutes in and got progressively worse - not that it was excessively painful, but I was clearly limping and didn't want to do further damage. I sometimes think that I'm giving it away too easily in these situations at the moment, but there was enough post-run tightness in the calf to suggest that pushing much further would have been more trouble.

Hopefully it will be more settled this week, although it will be tested - I'm at a conference at UNSW this week and there aren't too many options around the local area which don't involve some sharp ups and downs: Centennial Park is perhaps the best of them.
