week.four - my 1st injury

So I am in my 4th week and last Saturday after I ran I was in SEVERE pain...it was my Achilles tendon. shit. I was limping and sore as hell. When I got home I immediately put ice on it. After about a day..the pain disappeared. Fast forward to my next run..2 miles...piece of cake right? Sure as shit...my ankle immediately hurt. Limping again...now I am scared. The doctor told me my Achilles tendon was "inflamed" Perscribed 4 Aleve and "light workouts"...Light workouts?! So the next couple of days I was @ the gym doing the illeptical...fun..fun..fun. On a side note...why was this girl at the gym wearing a backless shirt....no bra....long black hair...beautiful girl by the way running on the treadmill next to me, WTF! Why would she wear that...it doesn't make any sense.

Anyways...I digress.

Let's see its a Friday night I decided that instead of running on Saturday which is my planned long run I thought it was a good idea to go out drinking with my lady friends and sleep in...long run on Sunday. I could use the day of rest right? Friday night was a shit show. I had way to much to drink and my alter ego (everybody say hello to Camella) came out. She smokes cigarettes when she's three sheets to the wind. She has a ball, believe me. Mojitoes, tequila shots, friends dancing on bars (not me..just as an fyi) I came rolling in @ 3:00 am. Nice. I hope you had a good time Camella!!! The funny thing was....I woke up @ 8:00 am and felt like running. So I ran 5.5 miles and felt like a superstar after all. So does this mean I can keep drinking?
