A small lump with swelling over my right achilles tendon. Tender to the touch. Blew up just wonderfully after today's attempt at 2 miles.

Yes, I warm up beforehand. I walk 10-15 minutes before I start to jog.

I can't tell you how PO'd I am with my body right now. Because I don't weekend warrior it. I don't push it to extremes. I find something I like to do and I take it slow and *&&^%$# if it doesn't backfire.

It's above the ankle and off to the side. I *think* the heel tabs of my shoes are too high. Googling revealed that sport phys folk advise not buying shoes with high heel tabs, or cutting the tabs down. If I put on the shoe, the top of the tab hits right where the owie cropped up.

And my left heel has a much, much less intense version of the same thing.
