Good day today.

I was able to run 2 miles straight today and my achilles feels great. I might try for 3 miles next week. I still need to find a way to keep the swelling down though

Great work!
It seems that for most of us, with or without surgery, the need to elevate persists surprisingly long. I’m extremely comfy in two shoes now (though still not quite walking straight with a strong “push-off”). But after I spend about an hour standing up, or several hours sitting normally, my leg starts complaining until I put it up.
WAY TO GO!!!
You’re going to make a lot of us very jealous with all the talk of jogging\running. I could never run…mine was always a little faster jog…and I can’t wait until I can even do half that again.
Keep going and remember…
“Slow and Steady Wins THIS Race”.
I don’t want to give you the wrong impression, at this point my running is basically a jog. I haven’t tried going to fast because it would be difficult and it lengthens your stride which puts an increased load on the achilles. I did increase the treadmill to 7mph right at the very end of my run though. It felt o.k., but I am not ready for that yet.
