If I really wanted to torture myself I could find easier ways than heading out for a 3 mile jog. My heel has never stopped bothering me and after two weeks I gave up today and went for a run near my hotel in Suffolk, Va. Starting out, the heel did hurt but no worse than while I have been walking so I just went with it. I stopped to stretch a bit at the 1.5 mile mark and again once I had finished the run.

I can honestly say that I have no pain in my heel right now. Of course, I can also say I have very little feeling in my entire foot as it is submerged in ice hoping to reduce any swelling in the heel.

3.10 mi in 37:29 @ 12:05/mi burning 360 calories.

1.00 mi @ 11:54
0.50 mi @ 12:04
1.00 mi @ 12:05
0.60 mi @ 12:25

So with about 5 weeks to go until the half marathon I managed to run a 5K today. Not feeling the optimism right now.
