I haven’t sent an update out and I apologize for that. Once you get moving again, you don’t have the time you once had. To close this blog out, I can report that on June 1, 2019 I ran my first road race and finished. I ran 5 miles in 31:20 (about [...]

I’m just about 2 1/2 years from my injury. Time flies. I’m extremely happy to say that I’ve made almost a full recovery from this injury. The only reason I say "almost" is that I haven’t fully thrown myself back into training yet. I’ve not run any road races yet, but I run a couple [...]

I’ve been back in the boot for going on two months now – off and on. I’m wearing it more now than when I first had the surgery. I have good days and bad days with my lower heal becoming sore as the day goes on if I’m out of the boot too [...]

One year. One year ago tonight, I ruptured my achilles tendon. Here I am, back in a boot, having never fully recovered. I’m not sure if I’ll ever really recover from this and be able to do the things that I used to do. That’s frustrating and upsetting, but [...]

9 months out. I wish I could say that I’m back to feeling somewhat normal, but I’m not. This is the reason I haven’t posted any updates to this blog because I really don’t have any. Anytime I’ve tried to run outside, I’m finding soreness and swelling that bothers me for a [...]

I’ve had my turn-around month finally. I guess the 6-7 month mark holds true for a lot of people. On Feb. 11th I had my surgery. On Sept 4th, I was able to go for a solid two mile run. So, it took me just under 7 months.
S0 since August 11th, my PT was [...]

Aug. 11th, 2016 - It’s now 6 months to the day that I had surgery to repair my torn Achilles tendon. It’s been a long stretch, filled with ups and downs and I’m still working on returning to “normal”. I wouldn’t wish this injury on anyone, however the experience is unique and one [...]

August 1st – 6th – 25 Weeks
Back with my PT - she believes my pain maybe bursitis or some other tendonitis. The calf and achilles seem strong. I actually did 10 unassisted heel raises. Dr. visit on Wednes will confirm. She recommended taking over the counter ibuprofen or some other anti-inflammatory to [...]

I’m still in limbo here. Almost 6 months in and still unable to run. I’ve been stretching more, and as of last week I started feeling less pain pushing off throughout the day. Stretching seems to temporarily help. On Sunday July 24, I was panicking throughout the night as I’ve been reading about [...]

I’m at 5 ½ months. I really thought I’d be farther along than I am, given my research on how others have progressed, but I guess everyone is different. I came back to PT a week after my bad news from my surgeon and spoke to my PT. She felt like the [...]
