Thoughts:

  • I just LOVE running. Unfortunately, my heel does NOT love running. I ran the first 1 1/2 miles in my Hoka shoes. I experienced severe pain.
  • I changed into my Asics shoes. My heel responded better. I found if I shortened my stride, the pain was slightly lessened.
  • My heel hurt all day at work.
  • I am beginning to think that I have a stress fracture instead of plantar fasciitis. I've been off of my heel for 3 weeks, but am experiencing little improvement. When I roll, I experience more pain. When I awake, my heel does not hurt. The pain increases the longer that I am on my feet.
  • I see the doctor on Thursday.

  • I am wearing a boot at night.

Overall Average Pace: 9:44

Splits:

  • 1 mi - 10:34 / 2 mi - 10:08 / 3 mi - 10:02 / 4 mi - 9:12 / 5 mi - 8:44

Thoughts:

  • I am happy with my Asics shoes! They are cushioning my heel well. I noticed that I was rolling my right heel slightly to outward to alievate some pain. I need to pay attention to that movement so I don't create an injury to the other side of my heel.
  • This is my fourth run in four weeks. Today I noticed my loss of fitness. Hopefully with my continual healing and spinning, the fitness will not take too long to gain back!
  • I have a half-marathon mid-June. It may become a training run as I heal. A week ago, I considered giving my registration to someone else so there is progress!

Cross Training:

  • 45 minutes spinning
