Another visit to Physical Therapy today and hopefully another step closer to returning to the track.
Right now it's small steps,I got a bunch of new stretches today to help my Achilles tendon hopefully get stronger,along w/ an ultrasound, 5 mins on an elliptical trainer and some ice afterwards,the acid test is going to be how well my tendon reacts to my first run,it's very much a wait and see game at the moment but I feel I'm heading in the right direction at least.
W/ any luck tomorrow should see another jaunt around the drives on my bike and another day closer to the moment of truth.

I wish I knew those strecthes. I went to a podiatrist yesterday and have an anti-inflammatory and some firm shoe inserts. I have not gotten to the point of having to wear a boot. I have not been running b/c I do not want to take any chances. I may give it a shot this weekend. I'd love to see where I am via an interval workout, but I don't know if it's worth it at this point.
Delve,
I wish I could do justice to explaining my stretches via email but I doubt I can,basically take a pices of rope if you don't have any Thera-Band you can use,place it it under the ball of your foot and push your foot forward like you're putting your foot on the gas pedal of a car,do 30 of those in a set and do 3 sets.
Hope that helps
Your description helps!
How's the foot?
Moment of truth for me this afternoon as I return to the track for the first time in 6 weeks,wish me luck!
