I was going to do a full loop around Seward Park while my girlfriend walked the loop the opposite way (her knee hurts from a bang-in with a car door :-). My achilles tendon started to hurt again so when I met her 2 miles later (.7 miles for her) we started walking the other way. After a while we started running with intermittent walking breaks. When I got back, the area around my ankle was swollen. I'll probably take the next couple of days off. BTW, I'm taking a generic version of Aleve, which should help.

It's funny how little problems can appear out of nowhere for a runner. Just as I thought the knee problem was resolved--for a while I thought I'd never get over it--something else unexpected happens...

Total: 3.0mi Run

Hi Arbit,

No, but I'm running the NYC Marathon on November 5th. How about you?

I used to get achilles problems, severe pain when I woke up for example, easing off during the day. Im my case it was caused by scar tissue after turning my ankle (several times). Several (painful) sessions with the physio sorted them out though, by breaking down the scar tissue.

Hope it sorts itself out.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Charlie. It seems to be a nasty injury and difficult to heal. Mine is still not back up to 100%, we'll see what happens.
