Hmm. So the other day I jogged 5 miles and felt fine. Yesterday, my left achilles tendon started tightening up after 2.7 miles. Today, it was twinging a bit while on the elliptical machine.

I've already come to the conclusion that my long-distance jogging will have to take a vacation. I have a half-marathon, however, coming up in three weeks. This will be the first long-distance run that I won't be ready for. I will have to send April ahead of me and will walk most of the latter part. Oh, well, finishing is all that matters.

But it hurts my pride.

Random thought: People own guns that they have no use for. I went to an outdoor range in Fort Bend yesterday and was amazed at some of the rifles that some men had. Why on earth does someone need a sniper rifle? The answer: it's fun to shoot. I will not argue with the man with a scarey gun that looks like a paratrouper might carry.

Cheers!
