I sort of used this week to shake out the rust and see how everything feels. My calves and Achilles are still a little tight, but that's a perennial issue. I'm just going to settle for the simple fix and cut a notch in my shoes' heels. I wish major shoe manufacturers made their shoes without heel counters - they do nothing for stability, right, or comfort, and only aggravate the bursa in your heel.


Next week I'll continue to build up a solid schedule. Once I get to 5-6 days of solid running again, I'll start ticking up the mileage. Baby steps.
