I think I will aquarun my next two run sessions, then do a run/walk again next Friday to see how it feels.

I'm cautiously optimistic for the HIM. Cautiously....

When I have them, I have more heel problems when walking, though I think it's a vicious feedback cycle. Running tightens the muscles, and walking just pounds it in. Hang in there.

I ran hill repeats during my 90 minute lunch break today - but the time it took to change and run swallowed about 75 of the 90 minutes and I prefer to digest my food so I was late to a conference session. 6x60s at 8% at at least 10:00 miles.

I was watching the World Cup game that was on at the time, but then it went to halftime, and my TV choices were limited so I ended up with America's Next Top Model. Wow.
