I have come to the realization that lining up and finishing the Ice Age 50 mile in 2022 is going to be a real challenge. As it stands now, there is a no way I can train properly with a bum Achilles. There is no major pain as I walk about 6.5 miles daily, but the small distances I try and shuffle are slow and awkward. They also leave the area tender. It quickly goes away after a day, but I am gun shy to try begin jogging again. I can’t walk Ice Age in under 12 hours.
My problem is me of course. I know What I should be doing. I also know what other cross training could be considered. It is hard not to go out daily for an effort and many times twice a day. We are all told when we can’t do this anymore. Maybe my time is here. I have a few ideas to make this work. Of course I do. It is not the way I want to go about preparing, but I still want to lick the mustard out of the jar one more time.
