It does make a difference - I notice this when I don't stick to my stretching regime. I also have exercises for the tendons but I'd say the effectiveness is marginal. The blood supply to Achilles tendons isn't good so they don't heal quickly as you say.<br /><br />A doctor friend kindly reimds me that it's age! (not in your case of course!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-61882772505250348372012-10-01T10:01:11.136+01:002012-10-01T10:01:11.136+01:00

The muscle doesn’t stretch as much and so the tendon has had to compensate. All the running i have done this year to loose weight has got to the point where the tendon has said enough is enough.<br />I think it will recover but these injuries are not quick healers. And i think my running days are over.<br /><br />AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-19318789744768934632012-10-01T08:56:42.042+01:002012-10-01T08:56:42.042+01:00A fine day out Alan.

Hope the Achilles tendon problem is resolved - I've had this problem for years but just keep bashing on.

Hi Martin,

But it caused some pain on certain terrain so i thought it best not to take the chance of aggravating it further.<br />As for your 2 phone options. My opinion is both are excellent.<br />The note screen is bigger than the S3. But the S3 is big enough.<br />Sheila got the 32gb memory phone for the same price as the 16gb with Vodafone. So that might be worth asking about when you decide. Both use Android 4 Jelly bean platform, so no difference there.<br />I think the battery life is better on the S3 so that might sway you but good luck picking one or the other.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-1199886551010505472012-09-30T13:47:29.212+01:002012-09-30T13:47:29.212+01:00Nice walk, Alan, and a shame you can't join us...Nice walk, Alan, and a shame you can't join us next week. It promises to be a bit frenetic!<br />I'll be interested to hear more about the Samsung when we meet up - I'm considering either that one or the Note.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-32678309294182057812012-09-30T10:18:44.713+01:002012-09-30T10:18:44.713+01:00

But you either love them or hate them. The paths can be a bit busy depending on the day.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-62332561617486836712012-09-29T23:24:30.646+01:002012-09-29T23:24:30.646+01:00I like the moors section.
