It was really cool this morning (32) but luckily no wind.  This is the first good frost that we have had this year.  I felt pretty good this morning after getting a good night's sleep.  That always helps.  I just took it nice and easy this morning and enjoyed the crisp fall air.  I still have some pain in my achilles.  It bothers me for about the first half mile then it is no problem.  I need to continue with the ice and anti-inflamatory to try to get it straightened out.  Just kind of lingering along which cannot be good.

Sleep is always a good thing. Good luck babying that AT, achilles problems can be nasty.

Yes, the achilles is frustrating. It has just kind of been hanging around for a couple of months. I have not been as good as I need to treating it and that is probably the problem. Definitely need to take it more seriously.
