hiking 1:03:21 [3] 2.87 mi (22:04 / mi) +82m 20:16 / mi
Not muggy and buggy. Yay. 20lb pack.
I will feel light as a feather without the pack - maybe it will help my orienteering at NAOC.
Achilles pain is somewhat improved. It only hurts after about an hour and stops as soon as I stop and it just feels bruised with no sharp pain just soreness if I press on it. Will continue with the heel drops - 3 sets of 10 on each foot, twice a day.
The PT guy also thinks that some hip strengthening exercises might help so I have some of them to do too. Don't know if it will help the Achilles but will certainly help me overall.
