calcaneal bursa..

i've got this feeling that, as the physio was kinda bemused about this being your regular Achilles problem, his other suggestion could be the one: calcaneal bursitis. my feeling is that this fits as well as anything else and kinda points to the longevity of this damn thing. same treatment - rest, ice, Achilles stretching - but a slightly different explanation. don't know what good it does me knowing this - or, at least, suspecting this..

oddly, pinching my Achilles last night i could feel nothing.. which was almost unbelievable. it's back a little this morning, but i suspected it wasn't gone gone. i guess it's just an indication that it's in decline. which is alright by me.

i'll go ahead and try another short jog tomorrow, then hopefully another swim on Wednesday, if possible. maybe some weights tonight too.

have the highlights to the Great North Run taped, so going to check that out this evening. apparently it was quite an odd race with Gharib tearing off early before the great man - Haile Gebrselassie - pulled back the lead to then leave them all between six and seven miles. Magnificent time too.. 59:33.. wow!
