This morning I had my long-awaited (by me, anyway) appointment with my orthopedist regarding the aching I have been experiencing in the back of my ankles. His diagnosis was as I suspected, which is to say, although there is a "problem" it is not nearly as bad as I had feared, and I am well on my way to recovery. Apparently I am experiencing Achilles tendinitis. The doc suggested that I continue working my way back into training and thought it might be a good idea to wear a brace, at least in the short term.
Upon returning from my appointment (I had taken the whole day off from school), I went out for a run during which I attempted to increase my pace to a more reasonable (yet still s-l-ow) pace of approximately eight minutes a mile. An added bonus was that, given the very Spring-like weather we are having today, I was able to unleash my chicken legs to the community by wearing shorts!
Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
