Update

Dear friends, I have been keeping up with you but reticent to comment because of being shelved as a runner. My injury is gradually healing. I have been walking nearly every day at a brisk pace. The Achilles tendon seems to be getting better.....I was really stupid in running those two races so close together....I have to face facts that I am unable to recover as swiftly as I used to recover.
I am waiting for the right time to begin the building back to marathon training shape. Best of luck to all my friends running Boston!!! Peace!

Sorry to hear about your injury. It will heal with rest. Just keep busy walking and biking : )

i am glad to hear you are at least able to get out and walk. sure hope your achilles heals 100% quickly!

it's tough to be into running blogs when you are benched - totally understandable.

Mark,

Do what you need to do to heal propery. I know the urge to run is high but the need to get better needs to be more. Do it right and you will be back better than ever.

      This is the most wonderful time of year! I love the heat and humidity! Yet I still get out earlier due to my advanced age! 4.4 miles! ...
