More of the same
I did a swimming/pool run combo this morning and it felt like the minutes were crawling by. Not to mention that I could even feel my achilles when I was pool running. The area near my anklebone is kind of swollen, too, although that area's not sore. Lovely. I just don't know how it got so bad so fast after feeling better, but it doesn't matter now. I knew when I finished in the pool that going to track wouldn't just be stupid, it would be pretty much impossible.
So here I sit thinking about everyone else beginning their warm-up...but if I can heal this and still get in a few more long runs, this agony will have been worth it. (Or at least that's what I'm trying to convince myself.) I did some biking tonight and discovered that the recumbent bike, which I normally avoid at all costs because I think it's so awkward, actually felt better than the upright on the achilles. Good to know.
I suppose I should use this extra time to do schoolwork, huh? The fun never ends.
