As some people have noticed, I haven’t been running for several weeks.  My right heel started to act up again so I’ve stopped running and I have been doing some elliptical work for exercise.

Today I woke up and my heel was stiff, but then a few hours later (I’m a bit slow) I realized that it was my “left” heel that was stiff!  My left heel is the one that has always been good and it was my right heel that was the one giving me all the problems.  So, now it seems I have two bum heels!

I pretty sure my left heel is achilles tendonitis.   It’s just very stiff and sore in the mornings.  My right heel is the one with what I think is a bone spur which lately, seems to be getting bigger!  I’m going to make a dilligent effort to ensure I stretch my achilles tendon every time I exercise, but part of me knows I should probably lay off the elliptical.

I turn 40 within the next 2 months and unfortunately this old body is starting to show its age!
