I did 6 miles in my old Pegasus's this morning at a slower pace (9:03) than usual.  I had planned to do 10 miles but Andrea said I should do shorter runs this week to hopefully prevent this heel or Achilles pain from getting worse.  I'm hoping that running in a shoe with a higher heel stack height will take some force off my Achilles.  I didn't feel any pain during the run.  I only felt a little pain this morning when I got out of bed.

Slow today in an effort to not aggravate my heel pain.  It feels like there's slight bruising on the sides and top of my heel.

I used a heating pad to warm up my Achilles and heel area.  A little faster than yesterday.  Felt about the same.

Not bad this morning.  Still feeling a little bit of slight discomfort on my heel that I can't quite describe. I did 5 x 1 min without it increasing the discomfort.

I only did 33 miles this week to try and give my left foot a rest. Today's run felt about the same as the rest of the week. But the last 5 miles that I did at just slower than marathon pace felt good.

I've got the Emigration Canyon Half next Saturday and I think it's going to be fun. They sent me an email with the names of all 105 registered runners. Small race.
