Total Distance
1.75

Ran 1.5 miles around 8:15 pace, and then started feeling some pain in the achilles.  Walked / ran until I hit home, which was 2.50.  I'll call it 1.75.  Wish I was running the marathon this weekend.  I was signed up, but was able to have my registration moved to next year.

PM - Went to the PT during lunch time.  Did some exercises (they made my calves burn real good), and then he massaged the achilles.  After the massage he applied a cortizone medacine (not a shot).  It was more of a topical patch like thing. 

For some reason I had it in my mind that after about 2-3 weeks of little/no running that my achilles would be fine.  That is certainly not the case.  The PT mentioned that this could take a couple months to get over.  At least my expectations are in line now.

GRRRRR. Sounds like you will need to join a swim team.

Sounds like we both need to join a swim team Bec. LOL. Are you in Lehi right now? Do you do the spin classes at the Legacy Center? I've thought about doing them, but don't want to be the only guy in there.

Jeff, I am in Lehi right now. I go to as many spin classes at the L.C. as possible because they kick my trash! You should come! Only the BRAVE men show up to those classes. jk. You would not be the only guy there.
