    A few weeks ago I started having palpitations (more than usual, that
    is), so naturally I decided to join a gym. 8-)

    I have been swimming only, every alternate day, and built up to a
    regular 30 lengths, my boredom level. Strangely I have developed a
    sore Achilles tendon, but only in my right leg. It is worse when I get
    out of bed in the morning, or when I have been seated for some time.

    Can you get such a problem from swimming, (breast stroke) or could it be
    that I've been wearing Teva sandals nearly all the time?

    I have been doing little walking during this 3 weeks or so, and it's a
    nuisance because I was intending to start on the treadmill by now...

    They let you in the pool with them on? :-)

    I can think of better ways to walk...

    I would go and see a sports phisio about the tendon and a doctor about
    the palpitations.

    No, I have to wear a costume also.

    BTDT had the ECG which is clean.

    The people in Tewkesbury (and more recently Jamaica) would disagree
    about that, possibly violently. 8>.

    Went to Etherow Park this morning, got out of the car, drizzle as though
    in cloud, and I was limping painfully, so we had a chip butty in the
    lakeside cafe instead. 🙂

    I abandoned the Tevas on Sunday and now wear an old pair of plastic
    beach sandals round the house and to the gym.
    I could hardly put my foot to the ground this morning, but in a few
    hours the pain has disappeared! I suspect that the Tevas are a size
    small, and the rear strap was too tight round the back of my ankle.

    Unfortunately the rear strap can not be adjusted.
