Lately I've been having a throbbing sensation on the bottom of my heel and in my achillies tendon. Is this a serious injury? Should I take some time off until it goes away? Any advice would be appreciated.

Last week I was feeling my achilles a bit on some runs, but I decided to ignore it. I went ahead with a 20-miler last weekend, felt fine, but on Tuesday (New Year's Eve) the pain made me cut a run short. Since then I couldn't run across the street if I had to.
Short answer: I've learned my lesson. Next time, I'm taking a day or two off to make sure this doesn't happen again.
