Not much to report. I've been running again the last few weeks - about 10-20 miles per week. I have minor aches and pains but no major injuries. I'll be focusing on just easy runs and one medium long run per week until I feel fully healed from my Achilles strain earlier this year. No track workouts or long runs over ~12 miles until I feel 100%. I'll slowly increase my mileage over the winter to build a solid base for next year's Marathon attempt.

Hi Joe, I didn't know you were running. I'd ask the obligatory "how're you doing" but from reading your blog I can see that other than beating yourself up training you're doing ok. Reading about your injury got me thinking about how to train without re-injuring your achilles tendon. My orthopedic surgeon has advised me that for my really gone knees, that bicycling is the answer. That's for arthritis, though. So the benefit in this instance is that there is very little impact transmitted to the joint (which would increase the wear). For you though, it may work well to gently use the tendon, which would increase blood flow, and aid in the recovery. It might be worth a try.
