Had to get out to test the left calf and heel.  Heel feels pretty good but calf is still sore.  I had a real hard time maintaining a decent pace.  My pace was slow but my HR was high (recovery pace and anaerobic HR).  I haven't really increased my training that much so I can't imagine that I am over trained but recent events indicate that may be the case.  I'm going to just keep plugging along and hopefully snap out of this.  I found a pair of Asics 2110 at Salt Lake Running Co for 40% off so I bought them in an attempt to find the perfect shoe.  They were very comfortable and I think that these may be the right shoe.

Avg HR: 161
Total Time: 57:10 (7:56/mile)

I currently wear the Asics 2110 and it gave me a weird arch issue, but since has been great. It probably wasn't the shoe, but I like to blame it on that. I like Asics and I am a Nike guy.

A negative biomechanical change could make regular training into overtraining. As I suggested earlier, spend some time working on core strength and spinal flexibility.

Thanks for the comments, Sasha. My core strength is a big weakness and always has been. I guess that it is time to start addressing the issue.
