I hope I'm just being overly cautious here, but better to be overly cautious at this point, I think. Went out for a planned 12-miler this afternoon after the baseball game (which Hogs won 17-16 on a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth). It was warm, windy and humid. Didn't push the pace real hard, but didn't just jog either. Ran one loop to Shiloh, came back to the houe to get a drink, make a pitstop and change shirts, and was setting out to duplicate the same loop. On Camino Real, though, sensed trouble. I had a new pain in my right foot, really the right heel, that I've never had before. Didn't feel right. Don't remember twisting the ankle or anything, although the last mile of the first loop I had to run in the grass a lot due to heavy traffic on Silent Grove. Anyway, tried to see if I could walk it out, and it did stop hurting after 100 yards or so. Tried to run again, and the discomfort soon returned. I wouldn't even call it a pain, really, just a niggle that didn't feel right. So I shut it down and walked back through JBH to the house. I'll go soak it shortly and elevate it just to make sure. |
