After resting yesterday the left Achilles tendon felt tender when I put my foot to the ground this morning. It was like that for a few minutes then felt ok. I'd been doing some massage on it yesterday and had hoped that would sort it out so I was disappointed when it made itself felt first thing. However, when it started to feel ok I thought I'd give it a try out and see what would happen.
Running was fine, the first couple of minutes made the calf ache a bit but that went off quickly and after that everything felt fine and easy.
I did 2 sessions of 2.5 miles, stopping for about half an hour after the first one so that I could see how a run would affect it but as it felt ok I went out again for the second one.
All in all a lovely run. The sun shone and it was much warmer than it has been for a good while. Luckily I ran this morning as the weather changed to wind and rain shortly after I got back.
A run without a hat! Is this spring??
