Well this break has been longer than expected because I've had a really bad cold the last few days. I'm pretty sure this is what led to the injury. I felt really tired last week, most likely I had started fighting the cold. I guess I just had muscle fatigue and this caused more stress on my tendon.
I took 4 days off from Thu-Sun. The pain in my Achilles tendon lasted only a couple days and I started doing eccentric exercises to strengthen my calf. Yesterday I went for a very easy run just to feel it out. I didn't feel any pain and it's still ok this morning.
I'm still recovering from the cold so I don't want to run hard yet. I will go to the gym tonight to do a little cardio on the bike. I'm hoping to get back to training either tomorrow or Thursday.
