It is my birthday tomorrow. In anticipation I had my best workout day in a while. I walked 8 miles, ran on the treadmill and lifted weights. It has been a long time since I ran on the treadmill. I have been having problems with both Achilles for the past while. I may have Achilles tendinitis. I'm going to get it checked out. I thought there is no way I will be able to run, but when I hit the treadmill the pain was gone. As I love to self diagnose, I'm not sure what is going on. I am sure I will be in pain tomorrow. Someone thought I may have gout, but I don't think so. I checked the symptoms and they don't match. I may be a victim of walking too much. How ironic, I'm punished for the only good thing I do.

I'm really trying to cut back on the bad foods. I have lawyers coming in from across Canada for their annual Toronto visit. It is a steady stream in the summer. Plus tomorrow I'm attending the Canada v. Honduras World Cup soccer qualifier. With patio season just starting up, it is punishing for my body. I really have to cut back. I have cut back, but I have to take it down another notch. My heart has been great the past two years. That is a testament to taking it easy most of the week and walking at least 10,000 steps a day. 19,800 steps today including the treadmill. If only I had a the Achilles of a 20-year-old Swede.
