I am hurting right now. My PF still hurts occasionally, though nothing worth complaining too much about.
But the last week I have had some serious achilles issues. When I used to have acchilles problems, they were just tightness or a dull pain, but lately the pains are shooting pains that happen almost on cue at 1.5 miles into every run. So I decided to rest my legs till the end of the year and just do 1 milers.
Then last night after running my mile, I was doing some work on the computer (probably checking RA threads) and when I got up I twisted something wrong and pulled my calf muscle. Funny thing is that all these problems are in the same leg (my left one).
But right now I can barely walk straight the pain in my calf is so bad. I am hoping it will loosen up by this afternoon and I can get my mile in, but if these problems keep persisting, I might be in some seriouis trouble.
Never mind the fact that all these problems make running just NOT fun anymore.
Just griping. Thanks for listening,
Jeff

I was thinking of posting the same thing. My right leg has been a mess for a while - First hip pain, now quad pain. I'm going to take advil and try to run (yes, Trent, I know that is not the best idea in the world).
I hope that you feel better later. Good luck!
Bring it on.
Sorry for all your aches and pains Jeff but it is more important to give it a rest if the problems persist. It sucks but we do have to listen to our bodies occasionally! Good luck!
Interesting that you say it is all on the same side -- for me it is my right side. Hip, lower back, and heal pains for me.

I'm on the right

Thanks everyone. I will run till at least the 30th (that will be 2 years for me) but just a mile a day till then. At that point I will re-assess how everything is doing, and maybe cut back my mileage for next year. I have been running in the 50-60 mpw range right now, and maybe that was just too much stress on it right now.
Also, it really didnt help doing that off-road 4 miler last weekend. I think the really steep uphills just over-strained the achilles/calf area to the point that my legs rebelled.
