AM - 7 miles up to work. After today, no more running up the hill for a while :-) PM - 4 miles, followed by the great shoe experiment. I've developed an annoying "pump bump" on my left heel. I've always had a bit of a Haglund's Deformity, but it hasn't manifested itself in a very long time (5+ years). No doubt, compensating for the right achilles has unleashed the beast. No matter how hard you try not to compensate, you're almost always doing it at some level. Running in an older pair of Kinvara 2s has actually felt the best lately, but they're not really ideal for racing (too soft). I jogged around in all my flats and its a toss up between the Fastwitch 6 and Type A3 (old ones!). My preference is to wear the FT if possible because they have a little more heel lift, so I'll give them a last chance test on my run tomorrow - if they bother the bump too much, I'll go with the ancient A3s. |
