Workout: Gage level of heel pain (Level 1 - 10)

  • 1st 2 mi / pain level 6)
  • Final 3 mi / pain level 2)

Overall Average Pace: 9:44

Conditions:

  • 58° (I wore shorts for the first time this Spring!)
  • Wind E 1 mph
  • Humidity 81%

Splits:

  • 1 mi - 10:34 / 2 mi - 10:08 / 3 mi - 10:02 / 4 mi - 9:12 / 5 mi - 8:44

Thoughts:

  • I am happy with my Asics shoes! They are cushioning my heel well. I noticed that I was rolling my right heel slightly to outward to alievate some pain. I need to pay attention to that movement so I don't create an injury to the other side of my heel.
  • This is my fourth run in four weeks. Today I noticed my loss of fitness. Hopefully with my continual healing and spinning, the fitness will not take too long to gain back!
  • I have a half-marathon mid-June. It may become a training run as I heal. A week ago, I considered giving my registration to someone else so there is progress!

Cross Training:

  • 45 minutes spinning

Thoughts:

  • I am still experiencing lingering pain from yesterday's run. I think that the pain may be from wearing high heels at work on Monday and Tuesday.

Workout: Run to gage heel recovery

Overall Average Pace: 10:32 (ugh!)

Conditions:

  • 61°
  • Wind SSW 12 mph
  • Humidity 36%

Splits:

  • 1 mi - 12:53 / 2 mi - 10:47 / 3 mi - 10:18 / 4 mi - 9:50 / 5 mi - 9:29 / 5:38 mi - 9:01

Thoughts:

  • My heel hurt a lot for the first 1 1/2 miles. I purposely ran slow trying to run more on my toes than striking with my heel.
  • I switched shoes at mile 1 because I just can't figure out which shoes work the best. Honestly, I think my heel needs more of a warm-up.
  • I had zero lingering pain throughout the day. That is  exciting!
  • I'm going to attempt another run tomorrow. I'll stop if my heel does not adapt after 2 miles.

Workout: Easy run to build stamina

Overall Average Pace:

  • Warm-up: 11:05
  • Run: 9:19
  • Fast mile: 8:50

Conditions:

  • 70°
  • Wind SW 10 mph
  • Humidity 71%

Thoughts:

  • This was the first attempt at running two days in a row. I gave myself two miles to warm-up. My heel did well with the longer warm-up.
  • My fitness level has dropped considerably. I was tired at 5 miles. I stopped and walked a few yards before pushing through the final mile.
  • I hope that I can regain my fitness quickly.

Workout: Run to improve my stamina

Pace:

  • 3 mile / 9:45 / minimal heel pin

Conditions:

  • 69°
  • SSW 6 mph
  • Humidity 49%

Thoughts:

  • I was on my feet A LOT this weekend. No doubt this affected my pain level.
  • I  need to stop worry about gaining speed. I probably should find the pace that builds my stamnia while allowing safe heel recovery.
