I’ve been so busy worrying about getting back into shape….that my one-year anniversary came and passed on February 18! A good sign, I suppose, that I am looking forward and not back….except when I get some soreness. But I am finally feeling that racing will be possible in a month or two.
Best wishes to all of us at different stages of this journey. One step at a time, and we will all get there.

I have a question, are you feeling any hip pain/tendon (peroneal/P.T.T.) strain, and or heel pain? I have been p/o sx achilles rupture w/graft (5cm rupture) x 2 yrs and my heel really seems to bother me when my tennis shoes are about 2-3 mo. old. I have custom orthotics, but this acheness and soreness bother me. Any ideas on the heel pain? My foot doc. says stretch which I do. but do you have any other ideas?
thank you
Lisa

Glad to hear you’re doing so well 1 year later.
I hope to be in good shape with my recovery by the time second AT surgery in August.
Good luck…and give us an update from time to time.

Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond -
Thanks, Chris — I will check in and post after I start racing again (!) Good luck with your continued recovery, sorry you’ve had to endure this twice…
Hi Lisa -
I am not having too much trouble with heel pain, just the occasional post-run soreness — but I find that stretching with a “night splint” daily helps. Right after surgery I had some plantar fascia issues, but that has gone away. I have not had any hip pain, so cannot speak to that….
