Other ideas is to soak them overnight in water/milk and they cook much faster! <br /><br />Thanks for the good luck wishes - same goes to you! It seems we are both being tormented with 'little' minor itty bitty injuries! ;) We will be fine - just REST up until gameday in a couple days!Cara @ EAT. PRAY.

I got patella femoral a month before my last marathon and I wasn't allowed to run AT ALL leading up to the race! My doc said I could still do it on race day so I had to tape up my knee all crazy and I went for it! My legs weren't ready for it but I finished and I'm happy with that! You will pull through no matter what condition you are in, just make sure you listen to your body and if you have to run slow, who cares!<br /><br />Sweet deal on the Nike tops! They're so cute! I've seen that skirt at Lulu before and it so nice. I am addicted to that store. It's not good for my wallet but nothing beats their clothes so I give in way too often!Christina @ The Athletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328839478273608532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6822096984973552912.post-25293861181404799832011-10-04T08:30:19.519-07:002011-10-04T08:30:19.519-07:00I'm sorry about your achilles.

I'm still "walking on eggshells" to make sure I get to my marathon start on 10/30, but I'd like to share one other thing that seems to have helped.<br /><br />Since the first achilles issue 10 yrs ago, the Dr advised I put heel inserts in my running shoes. He explained that these silly little inserts helped to reduce the angle that the achilles has to stretch. I've been using them ever since.<br /><br />And, the July flare up is totally explainable: I broke the golden rule of increasing mileage, speed, and hills all in one gigantic 18 mile training run. Right.<br /><br />Might be worth looking into...good luck!!!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956724450988998624noreply@blogger.com
