Met Callie at the rec this morning and jumped into an ice-pond of a pool.  Brrr..... 

I admit, I was feeling a bit grumpy.  My heels were feeling so sore yesterday.  I rubbed and rubbed them in hopes to rub out all the soreness (which I think irritated it).  I went and got some heel pads and some KT tape.

I was feeling sorry for myself all evening.  

When I got up this morning, they were still a bit achy after being off them all night.  But they felt good during the pool and have felt much better today.  Who knows!  I think I am going to wait an extra day or two till I run on them again.

47 minute pool run

5 min warm up

1 min hard (1min rest)

2 min hard (1min rest)

3 min hard (1 min rest)

4 min hard (1min rest)

5 min hard (1 min rest)

4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 4 min hard

5 min cool down

Callie and I were comparing songs on our Ipods during the work out.  It helped the time go by faster and fun to hear her music choice (she knows how to ROCK!!).

SO NICE to have Callie pool running and jamming to music! Hope your heel is just tired and no more pain after a rest day!
