"I shoulda stood in bed" ---Moved from other site
There I was at 4:15am this morning, thinking my heel feels great, today is the day to start in with the VFF's. So, up I get, shorts on, tech shirt on, iPod--don't worry about the Nike+ receiver I don't have a pouch for the VFF's, slip my toes in and pull up the backs and strap down. Flashlights on, and out I go. I knew that my legs and feet would get tired running in this niffty new way, so I opted for one of my short routes from my C25K program. Good plan. At about the 3/4 mile mark, my feet were getting tired, as were my calves. So, with no shame, I started walking. In less than another 1/4 mile my heel starts to hurt again. OK, so maybe I was taking a few heel-toe steps while walking. BUT, the ole left foot felt fine. Dagnabit, I think the tendinitis isn't quite 100% gone. I mosey home, with a couple of more jog sessions, and then stretch. Ow, yup, tighter than a mummy's NVTS as my father-in-law would say. Well, lets put some ice on it, and get it elevated for a bit. Yeah, that hurt like heck 15 minutes later when I stood up to go take a shower. Now as I sit here at work, my heel feels like I have someone placing my foot on coals that are just about ready to cook on. Maybe I should have given it some more time, or not tried the new running style, but either way, we shall have to see how it feels tomorrow. I think I may be relegated to the gym and the elipticals for a while... Not too happy with that thought.
