So, still babying the achilles in my right leg. Today I made it to 6 miles, barely felt it at the end, did stop, however, trying to decide mileage for rest of the week. Any advice? This is week 2 for the injury. Improving slowly....slowly is key word. Well?

Slow is good. Ice baths helped me. Trigger point therapy finally fixed it for good. Worth a look.

so how are you feeling??

This little excercise has worked wonders for my achilles... Stand on a step so must of your feet (ankles) are hanging off the step. Lower all the way down (like a stretch). Then using the GOOD leg and a bit of hip action push youself up to your tiptoes on the bad leg trying to use it (bad leg) as little as possible... then take 80% of the weight on the bad leg... use the good leg only for balance... lower yourself slowly down to that stretched... as low as you can go position... repeat 10 or so times... Supposidly the controlled eccentric contractions help stretch the tendon out. This really helped... I did this early in the day when I was running later ... or before bed on days I ran earlier... And as stated.. ice after the run definitely helped...
