Thanks Dina and Linda. Things did not go well on Friday. I got 3 miles in and had to quit. Achilles was killing me. I can't get in to the doc until I get back from race weekend. So, after reading a lot of info, and listening to lots of advice, I'm not running at all until race weekend. I will do short walks, just to keep the leg warm for stretching. I will ice, massage and take anti inflammatories. I'm going to lift weights for upper body and do weight bearing for lower body, but no more. I might find a yoga class in my area.
Because of the injury, I've been eating like a pig. But, that changed yesterday. I got it together again, mentally. I'm weighing about 142, which is back up, but I'll just have to readjust my goal time, and not worry about it. I couldn't possibly lose 8 pounds in 2 & 1/2 weeks, nor would I want to. I'd just be losing the muscle I've worked so hard for.
I have figured out that I'm really bad at this journalling thing. I can't seem to do it daily, and that's what needs to be done. I will work harder at it.
