I ran 1-2x/wk the last 3 wks of May, and I am nearly crippled from it. I've been spreading my achilles tendon tale of woe far and wide. Now I've stopped running, curtailed all riding but minimal commute (give or take getting kids to their places), and hoping to get my screaming ankles to calm down.
I did however buy some new running shoes (and bike shoes, and insoles for other shoes) so I'm going to try again. If not next week, maybe the week after...
It is amazing that from biking I've got the cardiovascular system to go wayyyyyyyyy past the tolerance of my poor suffering joints and ligaments.
