The Kangoo Jumps had been my last hope to take some of the wear and tear off my legs and allow them to heal up. It wasn't very successful. The following day I had bad brand new pain in my left achilles, quite sore thighs (maybe from the weight of the boots) and C-shaped blister about the diameter of the bottom of a can of soda on my ankle. I think I was not getting a lot of compression, and will adjust the springs if I use them again.
I tried another run two days after the Kangoo run, and scrubbed it after about half a block. Decided to take some significant time off and let everything heal, hopefully once and for all.
After 17 days, I did a 6.5 mile run around the neighborhood a week ago and didn't bother to blog it. Was still having some shin-splinty pain in one leg, so did not run again until today. Today was near painless, although I tired out after six miles - possibly because I only ate a banana for breakfast. But shorter mileage might be a good idea for a while - and maybe I'll get out again over the weekend.
