10K!
Just a quick update - on Friday I ran 6K and today 10K slow jog. Very happy with my Achilles although towards the 7 kilometer today I felt tension in BOTH my ankles, no pain, just tightness and tension so I had to slow down and was ready to stop but ... I didn't and today's run was my longest since my return to running and since my Achilles tendinitis, so I am very happy. Was it hard? No. Not hard on my heart, not hard on my muscles, not hard on anything EXCEPT on stupid ankles... yes, ankles... I noticed today that it was BOTH my ankles that felt stiff ... I don't get it! I stretched, I went slowly, I have new shoes, I am running with my orthotics...and my ankles are still acting up! No sharp pain, just stiffness. And I am constantly watching my strike so that it's mid foot ....Any suggestions from those of you who've been through this before? I am starting to want to try barefoot running and if my problem isn't really in the shoes...

so funny you said that about barefoot running, because I JUST said those words to TMB about 10 minutes ago. Good job on the 10K....
ReplyDeleteSorry about the ankles. I tried on Vibram FiveFingers yesterday. Kind of weird, but I am kind of interested in running in them ...
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!! 10K...that's great! If I remember well, this was the goal you set when you first started blogging :) Here's hoping the ankles don't give you too much trouble...
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome...way to go! I am sorry to hear about your ankles hopefully the soreness will be short lived. Good job finishing a 10k:)
ReplyDeleteAll of my physicians told me achilles tendonitis takes sometimes months to heal, and if you start running before it's fully healed, it'll hurt soon enough. I am not saying that is your case, but our idea of healing time and nature's are very different sometimes. Also, treadmills have the "softest" surface for achilles sufferers.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon! Great job on the 10 K! Way to go!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Miglena! thanks for stopping by my blog - I realized right away you were Anne's friend as I had just seen the cute picture of the two of you on her blog! I sure know where you are coming from with the ankle pain - I have crazy ankles too!
