I planned on running this morning, but my foot/heel was hurting, so I decided not to. I didn't really feel like running this afternoon either, but I did. The traveling team and coach were gone, and some guys who were here decided not to do the workout today, so our numbers were limited. I guess only the truly committed guys ran today. For our workout we did six 3:00 intervals. We weren't really pumped for this workout, but it ended up pretty good. I'm not sure my position on the first five, but we were all pretty close together on all of them. The last one was my best though. I was feeling sorta sick to my stomach, but once we started, I cut in right behind James. I stayed right with him until thirty seconds left, and pushed it hard, finishing just ahead of him. We finished a lot ahead of everyone else. I'm not sure how much, but I would guess ten seconds at least. My heel hurt pretty bad, but I iced it and it's feeling better. I don't want to get a bad injury now, so I'm going to talk to the trainer tomorrow, and if necessary take some time off. I figure now is a better time to take a break, because I won't be racing for a while. Does anyone know what my injury could be? My heel hurts on the outside near the bottom of the heel. It doesn't seem like a muscle pain, but it doesn't hurt when I push on it. It seems to warm up as I run, and it hurts when I push off of my foot, and hurts more when running on my toes.
