I'm running again. OK, I'm alternating walking and jogging every couple of minutes for about a mile.
Four weeks after injuring my Achilles, the pain is gone. The tendon is still a bit tight, but it feels better every workout. I warm up with 10 minutes on an exercise bike, then switch to a treadmill. After more than a year of running outside rain, snow or shine, I'm back inside - in a storage room at the office with some fitness equipment and a sump pump. I went five miles in the past week.
Recovery is going to be slow, but I'm happy to be running again.
