archilles tendon stiffness therapy?

Greetings

Just a brief question here - I run daily and stretch reasonably well (5 or
so minutes)
but I have persistantly stiff tendons.  I suppose its running form or just
too many
miles but is there any recommendations for specific things I can do about
this?

Paul check out http://www.mindfulness.com/mind/of1.html, Problem is Calves
not the Achilles.  Hopefully it will make sense regarding the massage
necessary to let the fascia and the calf muscles move through their full
range of motion.
