My mileage is a guesstimate again because I went without the Garmin - but I think it's pretty accurate. I really didn't want to run on ice today, so I ran my trail route twice. It was actually pretty hard to start that second time out - partly because it's uphill again. But I'm glad that I did it. Besides that hard section, it was actually a great run. I'm now able to run without an iPod and survive (hee,hee).

The only thing that's been bugging me this evening is my left heel. About an hour after my run my it started aching to step on it. Hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow. BTW, we've had great weather so far this week - in the 40's and no wind!! I could really get used to running all winter in this weather!

Bottom of your heel or back of your heel? Do you do any stretching after you run?

Good run, Laura! You deserve a little warmth--may it continue! The pain in your heel worries me a little. Could be the start of plantar fasciatis, which is one of the the most common injuries among distance runners. Have you ever felt it first thing in the morning?

It was the bottom of my heel. And, no, it didn't hurt this morning. In fact, as soon as I got off it and we talked with our company while sitting on the couches (instead of cooking, cleaning, etc.) then it began to feel better. It was most likely due to a back alignment proble; at least that seems to be the source of a lot of my problems.
