rtippett’s AchillesBlog

Promise me you’ll play kickball again after you recover! I’m younger than you by over a decade, but tore my achilles on the same general principal: a bit too old to jump into a new physical activity without working up to it. I think that is the biggest lesson I’ve learned from this. Don’t do too much too soon. I guess it maybe isn’t practical to ‘train for kickball’ but I hope once you are back to strength you do just that in order to tell the universe that you aren’t near done yet. Yes, eventually we all have to trade the running shoes, bikes, etc. in for a cane, and we never know when that will be, but from the sounds of things you aren’t ready for that anytime soon, so make it a goal to play kickball and not go down, and then tell us all about it!
