I ran on a treadmill today since I was at my sister's. This way I could keep an eye on the kids while my sister slept in a little longer. I did a progression run. Started with 1 mile in 9:30 and increased to 8:57 for the next two miles. Then hit the up button 1 time for the next bunch of miles. Then, for some reason, I decided that I wanted to finish 7 miles in 60 minutes and knew that I had to do more of an increase, so started hitting the up button once every minutes starting at 52 minutes. The last 3 minutes were hard. If I thought about it I could probably figure out exactly what he pace was, but I think in the last 3 minutes I was just above and then just below 7 minute pace. I didn't finish in 60 minutes. I was about 10-15 seconds over. Then I cooled down 1/2 mile. My sis diagnosed my heel as PF. Aggravated by some sort of change in routine, probably. It was a little bothersome in the first few miles, but felt fine as I kept going. So I'll just keep doing what I've been doing, which is stretching calves and my arches. I'm about to also check out the link that Bonnie posted to my blog yesterday (thanks!).
