Achilles Injury


Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you know I will be out of running for at least another week with a micro-tear (really it's messed up tissue that got overstretched) in my achilles. I haven't run for a few days and it's already healing but I have have to take some additional time off and then take it slow. It's really frustrating to not run right now since I can't use my fitness and because the weather is nice now after I was running serious mileage on the roads near my place this whole last month. Oh well, that's part of running. Anyway, anyone who wants to do some cross-training in the pool, contact me.

Karl, sorry to hear about the minor injury. That is really frustrating especially with the weather getting to be nicer. Just be smart, which you are, take the necessary healing steps, and you will be back in no time. Cross training will be good to keep your fitness "in check" so you won't really have to go through any aerobic "cobwebs" when resuming running, just the muscle memory in your legs pretty much. Wishing you the best of luck.

Karl, I'm already missing you in the workouts, but remember that you have your fitness and this is just a very minor setback. Cross training will keep you fit and excited to run when you can. I am cross training swimming and cycling all the time, so just let me know if you are interested in joining any of those.

Take care of yourself KD. Your raw talent and certainly your fierce competitiveness will bring you back to your elite self in no time. I have that pool pass to give you! I am running around 5:30 tonight... i can drop off directly after soccer practice or later this evening after I run! I will give you my Aqua belt for longer pool runs as well

Thanks guys; I'll get back out there ASAP. I can't wait to start training out with you all again in this warm weather.
