It sucks to be injured. It sucks even more when it comes out of nowhere and just hurts like hell. After Saturdays’ run, my right Achilles started bothering me a little bit. My run on Sunday was pretty easy and I was walking all day and it didn’t bother me. After my morning run and hurdle drills on Monday morning, it was very painful. I don’t know exactly what or where it came from but I’m thinking the fast workouts on the track may have cause that outer foot (right foot) to work a little harder on the turns and since I was wearing flats sometimes, it could have been tweaked a few times.

It’s important to take it easy the next couple days and rest up for the race on Saturday. Obviously, I would love to push through it like most pains but I’m afraid that since this basically just popped up on me, that pushing through it could cause further problems.

So instead of a morning run, I biked about 25 miles and ran about 3 miles in the afternoon.

Lots of great questions coming in about shoes, revamping gym workouts, and cold weather running. Keep em coming.
