I ran 11 miles today, and I ran the first 9 miles with Andrew and his friend Danny. We finished the first 9 miles in 1:04:52, which considering the conditions was pretty fast. Danny was pushing the pace for the last 3 miles or so. After this I ran 2 miles on my own finishing with a total time of 1:18:55. During the last mile I realized that there was a biker in front of me and that I was catching him. So, I sped up to try and catch him by the time I hit the turn-off for home. I must have taken a funny step (although it didn't feel like a funny step) because all of a sudden I felt a slight twinge in my left heel, and there was some slight pain. I backed off, and within a minute or so the pain went away. I think that it will be fine, but my heel still feels slightly tender. I will need to make sure and back off a little more until it feels better. As of right now I plan on keeping my mileage the same through the end of the week. |
