Thoughts:

• I had zero heel pain all week. I did not need Advil or my heel sleeve.
• During the first mile I experienced moderate heel pain. By the second mile, the pain was significant. Mile 3 and 4 were not bad, but I thought that it was best to stop running.
• Throughout the day, I experienced constant heel pain.
• I've been rolling my heel and started up with the Advil again.
• I ran in a pair of Hoka Cavu running shoes, but I did not find them to really cushion my heel anymore than the Asics brand.
• I do like my Hoka Recovery slides. 
• My next race is mid-June. I'm not sure how long I can maintain a high level of fitness if I can't start running soon. The spinning is good, but I don't know how it translates to running.
