A few days off this week due to the blizzard hasn't hurt. Now I have 3 days in a row, though, so we'll see how I do.

I ended up at the doctor last week for my Achilles. He said I had very good strength, probably just a bad case of Achilles tendinitis. He prescribed me a once-a-day anti-inflammatory and I bought some new workout shoes with stability insoles that provide better support. I also took the week off from my usual cardio routine.

Fortunately for me, I was off on a business trip Monday through Wednesday (I didn't have anything scheduled -- my first Tuesday off all season) and my Thursday game was postponed due to a teacher sickout. So I only worked one game last week and had chance to rest.

Back to my usual routine on Monday -- an hour of cardio at lunchtime and a game in the evening. I'd say the foot is at about 80% and once the game starts pretty near 100%. The inserts in my officiating shoes have helped.
