Shortest Comeback Ever?

My initial enthusiasm was dampened on Friday when my left archilles started getting sore during warm-up and gradually got worse. I decided after two run-throughs I had better not do any more....
I guess I had been doing my run-throughs (including warm ups) a little too fast for not having run on a track for so long. You really don't put much pressure on your calves and archilles when just jogging.

Yesterday (7/19) my archilles felt better after the weekend so I tried a few slower warm up runs but it gradually got sore again and was quite sore this morning.

So Plan B is I will take the rest of this week off running, relax next week in San Diego on vacation then see what I can do with 4 weeks of traning if the archilles holds up.... I will still hit the speedball in the gym and also do some calf raises to try strengthen the calves and archilles (should have thought of this before).

Lets keep our fingers crossed!
