I’m parked on my ass with what the docs are terming Achilles Tendinopathy. My last run was on 2 January which honestly sucked because of the weather and a nagging Achilles and foot pain.
There was a super article in the October 2014 edition of Trail Runner magazine by Sarah Lavender Smith entitled “The Injury Games”. I have not yet settled on where I am with “The Games”. I’ve been to the doctor once so far for an exam and x-rays. He is concerned that I may have a torn or separating Achilles Tendon and has passed me onwards to a Podiatrist. The doc’s guidance: Don’t run until the Podiatrist clears you.
I wonder where my 2015 race plans will take me. I don’t like “The Injury Games”.
Mano!

Bumming
Now I've gone and done it...
This was supposed to be a power week with a lot of miles run gearing up for the race in August. I had originally planned to get in 140KM. Wouldn't you know that while running to work (25KM) on Tuesday I strained my dang calf. So here we are wondering if this is injury is from overuse, lack of core strength or what.
At the end of the day I now have to back way off of my training and take some time off to let this thing heal. You can imagine my worries. We're a month away from the UTMB and I feel like I've got a lot of training to do.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
