Well, the Achilles injury this year was way worse than last year's ankle injury. It cost me four months of running and forced me to do elliptical instead. Tried a short run in June and the Achilles was still injured. Finally, I timidly tried out a slow, short run today to test it out and so far no pain.
Going to re-institute a slow running program to ease back in to running starting today. New goal for the year: 300 miles as 4 months of downtime cost me roughly 200 miles of running this year.
Wish me luck!
