AM - 6 AC/Lutheran.  Why is it that my body is ready to wake up a little earlier now when I am trying to keep my mileage down a little, but when I want to get up to run it never wants to be awake?  Did the usual run this morning with less pain in the achilles than yesterday - hooray.  But there is still a burn in there a bit.  This is my only run today (with a meet this afternoon) and tomorrow I won't go crazy, so hopefully things will be on the up and up by Monday.  (Kinvara3 337)

I have this little achilles strap contraption (Google "achilles strap" and you'll get the idea). I tried running with it back in February, but it rubbed my bones too much... anyways now I've been wearing it once or twice a day for 30-60 minutes after I'm done running. It seems to take the pressure off the tendon and allow it to recover better and not tighten up as much.

Nice - thanks for the idea. I'll look it up.

And good luck tonight by the way!
