Heel much better

I ran my 5K at 9:13 today and the heel was much improved. I still had slight throbbing at about 2.5 mi so I will do an easy 5K tomorrow. I read in the Runners World shoe faq that shoes should be tied tight enough so you cannot push the foot out with the other foot. I tightened my shoes before today's run to meet this criteria and it was very nice. Loose shoes may have contributed to this Achilles strain because I remember the right shoe was very loose during my interval session last Sunday. I also may have a touch of planar faciitis because only the heel is still stiff. Once again, the good news is I can still learn and the bad news is I am still learning.
