I spoke too soon. On Friday, I sprinted the last 100 meters to race my friend Irving, and I don't think that was a good idea. My left heel hurt a lot Friday evening, and yesterday. I iced it and it helped, but didn't go away completely. I think I got a bruised heel, which shouldn't be too hard to heal.

But I wanted to go for a run today, and I didn't feel well at all. My left heel hurt, so I put more weight on the right leg, which caused my right tendon and shins to hurt. So I went really really slow and in a very bad mood. The last mile I started noticing the gorgeous flowers around, the Dogwoods are flowering, the Azaleas are starting to show, very pretty, so I felt better. Icing now.

Congrats to all of you that raced this weekend, very exciting to read the race reports!

Rocket, thanks for the comments, have you tried icing from the inside out, eat some ice cream. Compensating for injuries is always a problem.

Stay kOOl, smell the roses, B of BS rOOls out

Ouch. Maybe it's plantar facitis. That usually goes away soon with rest.
