mandatory rest :(

Stupid pain in the Achilles is making it hard for me to walk so no running for at least 3-4 day if not more! I am icing it and taking Advil but it's still very painful. I am sad that this happened when I just started but I it's a good thing as it will help me keep my excitement (and desired to run all the time) in check so that I don't get more serious injuries, especially for my weak spots (knees) .. oh, well, I will try to read more blogs while I am off and do pilates more often... I will also do more research for my training program and learn how to use the software that came with my Garmin 405 Forerunner so I can plot training session and track my progress.
