Honolulu, HI: Well after two weeks off to get over a couple of injuries, I started back today to see how I have recovered.  It was warm this morning (75) and felt good to get out.  I wanted to take it real easy today and keep it short to see how my achilles is doing and to try to slowly build back up to normal.  I started off by walking about a 1/4 mile then started running real easy.  I felt pretty good running and didn't have any pain.  I was very aware of my achilles as I was running.  It did feel tight and it felt funny a couple of times.  I am not sure if it is still a problem or if I was just being over sensitive to it.  It was hard to keep it slow and easy.  I wanted to pick it up but kept it slow and wanted to see how I feel after a day.  I just plan on running every other day this week to ease back into.  I don't want to have any more down time if at all possible.

Good luck with the achilles rehabilitation. Sounds like you have a good plan. And seems like Hawaii is a pretty good place to "ease" back into things.

Yeah, not a bad place to return to the running routine. Hope the recovery goes well.

Yes, it is much better getting back out in 70 degree weather than freezing with rain/snow/wind. It will be a rude awaking next week though.
