First day in Orlando and my heel continues to hurt. Gave up and went for a run deciding that I would be able to quit if the pain was too intense. The first 0.5 mile or so was tough but once I was going it was not too bad.

I arose this morning to find that yesterday's run had not exacerbated the pain in my heel so I decided that this evening would find me challenging wisdom and running once more.

I challenged myself by starting off slow and then tapering back to a crawl but I think it's what I am capable of managing as I work back into a routine.

The right heel was a bit more painful today and the humidity seemed much higher so it proved a bit of a challenge to get through the workout.
