If you continue this simple practice every day, you will obtain some wonderful power. Before you attain it, it is something wonderful, but after you attain it, it is nothing special. ~ Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind

Base Training 09/16 - 09/22
M-Su - Off
I ran a little (2 miles) this morning to see how everything felt. Achilles still had a little tightness/pressure but no pain. It just felt like something was pressing into my Achilles.
Keep rolling it with the stick. You can also start riding your bike for some aerobic work.
If you want you can start doing something like: Jog 5minutes then walk 5 minutes for 30-40mins total every other day. That kind of workout will help move some blood and warmth to the tendons for healing without stressing them. It may be a little boring, but it should feel therapeutic. The 5 minutes isn't a hard number, if the tightness increases at all before 5 minutes, then walk earlier.
