When I was younger I could severely twist an ankle and be back to full strength in less than a week. Now I tweak a tendon during a kickball game and it hurts even 2 years later. Kara, I just started stretching and it is pathetic how inflexible I've become. Cathy, thanks so much for the article. I'll give those stretches a try. Getting old sucks doesn’t it guys?

Most of the doctors interviewed recommended reduced running rather than complete rest. Down dog is another good Achilles stretch, or just squatting and trying to get your feet flat on the floor. At least juggling is the next best thing to running. : ) http://select.nytimes.com/search/restricted/article?res=F70D1FFD39540C728DDDA80894DF404482 There was a good article in the NY Times in January about running with injuries like tendinitis.

Guess I better stretch the calf more often. That tendon can actually snap if it gets to tight - ouch and no running for eons. Informative post! http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp09009.htm I tried out that stretch above – my heel will not touch the wall!

I ran last night and while it is not 100% it is better than last week. A few more days in the pool and the weight room and I can start building back up again.

After refing, I could barely walk on it. After running this past year, it has improved immensely, but I have to be careful to make sure I run with the ankle properly "cocked" so as not to aggravate it. So far so good...
