    I don't plan to remain absent from DM for too much longer. I have my achilles back now. I just don't know if I have the nerve to find out how badly out of shape I am.

      My advice-take it slow as hell. Every time I get jacked up I try to come back too fast. Start with a frustratingly low per week mileage and bump up by no more than 10% every week. It sucks for a month or so, because you're barely doing anything, but it's worth it.
      Then again, my injuries have all been muscles, not tendons so what do I know.

      John T., it's been more like a year, but it looks in the end like my achilles issue was actually a manifestation of gout.

    Pretty long ride with friend and coworker DJ. DJ is a death metal vocalist. I tried to record a video of him smoking and inflating his bike tires, but it didn't work out.

      You must have had quite a tear or something for it to take that much healing with as much rest as you've given it. Rooting on the sidelines with you until we're ready to join in on the fun.

      Have you had a massage or acupuncture? Both help me stay healthy (massage more regularly than acupuncture.)

      Keep on doing really deep tissue massaging on that achlles! Really works to break down scar tissue so the same injury don't come back...I was out 8 to 9 weeks last yr n massaged it daily..hurt like hell but it never came back once I resumed running.

    Achilles is starting to feel better these days. Going to give it another week before I try some running. It's been far too long. Also... Electric Miles Android beta is pretty nice. :-)
