I little farther and a little faster today! 

3 miles 25:44

I felt no pain until sometime around the end of the second mile when I decided to add a little incline to the TM.  After about 30 seconds of that I quickly adjusted it back to zero incline and no more pain for the rest of the run.

I saw the podiatrist this morning.  He thinks I have some knotted up scar tissue in the spot where I have some discomfort.  It is a different spot from where I had my last cortizone shot, so he gave me another right into that little lump on my heal and told me to keep up the frozen bottle massaging.  I got my new orthotics.  I have to wait until Monday to try and run in them since I got the shot.  They felt pretty good just standing and walking in them though.  I'll try wearing them over the weekend and then Monday morning I'll go for another run.  I can't wait!  It will be almost as exciting as Christmas morning.

I'm really excited for you. Yeah, you gotta love how orthotics feel. I can't even wear normal insoles anymore.
