Did week 9, run 2 on the weekend. Then started developing ankle pain. Turns out it’s Achilles tendinitis so off to the injury bench I go! Gutted! I was so close! Having Physio and don’t want to run until it’s better, but I was finally starting to enjoy running. Damn.

Sorry about your injury, so close to graduate day as well, hopefully you will not be on the IC for long and you can run, run 3 of week 9 and graduate very soon.

That's so frustrating, but you are doing the right thing. Has your physio looked at your running shoes? Mine did that to make sure they were ok for me (they were). Just in case. Hopefully you'll be back out there soon.
