Injury grumble

I managed to pull my Achilles tendon last Thursday - probably running off road on ground that had hardened into ruts after all the rain - and I'm still feeling it today. Really want to run tonight but I am going to have to settle for a swim if I don't want to risk bringing it back on.

And yes, I am grumpy about it :-)

What a pain (no pun intended!) not being able to run but you are doing the right thing resting it or you could make it worse. Enjoy the swim!

Not what you're looking for?
