Why is it sideways?
One day at a time
Yep, that's what I had. Don't push it! I went to a physical therapist, who said if I'd waited longer, it might have gone from acute to chronic. He gave me some treatments and exercises, which really helped. This happened in early June, and I'm at probably 95% now. I was told not to run for a couple of weeks, and then to start back VERY slowly - you can see from my log how gradually I got back into things. I was also told not to run two days in a row for quite awhile, and to avoid hills. I'm finding that I can do a long run, but if I try two days in a row, my achilles bothers me again.
