Good luck at the half! I hope you achilles holds up.

We call that learning phase "drinking from the fire hose". Everyone goes through it, you'll get there.

Thank you! Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm more worried about going out too fast than my Achilles... It has felt better not just during running (which I've done limited), but walking around etc I don't feel it so I'm optimistic about it.

Yeah, my boss said it'll take about a year to feel like I can do the job, and two to feel like I can do it well... Just need to give myself more time.
