There was probably some stiffness getting started. I was going to the gym twice a week before but decided I’d rather be outdoors while its warm… My achilles feels stiff the next day, but stretching has helped alot. Its side to side mostly.. I feel it mostly the first km, and the next day… I started up the stairs before writing, and my ankle twisted slightly. I may still go to the doctor (because I don’t pay for visits) but because there’s not alot of swelling, and no bruising, I think he may just send me home..

I feel I have a few things I can look out for, and I appreciate that. I have some hiking poles (somewhere) too.. I’ve debated getting new hiking boots but as a last resort. I’ll keep in mind about the toes. My options are limited unless I buy online. If I do that I want to be sure..
