Running Accomplishments:

I started running when I moved to Oregon in 2008.  When I first started, I couldn't even run to the end of my block!  I made it my goal to just run a little bit further each time.  Not too much time went by before I realized how much I loved the sport of running.  I signed up for my first 5k in April 2009. I have loved watching my speed and distance increase as the years have gone by.

Weird foot/ankle/heel issues!  Been there for a while now.  Took the weekend off with the hopes of it just needing rest.  Wore my Mizuno's which are technically worn out but do have more support.  Really just hoping it is a shoe issue since the Saucony's are the only time I strayed away from Mizunos.  We will see......

Speed workout today.  400 x 5.  My lungs felt like they were on fire!  I know it will make me faster though, so I do love it.

I have heard so many people say they think my heel pain is plantar fasciitis.  I dismissed it because the pain wasn't on the bottom of my foot.  However, I do fit every other symptom--most pain when crawling out of bed in the morning or after sitting for quite sometime or after standing all day (teaching).  Any one have experience with this??  How do I fix it?  I read to wear shoes with more cushion and stability so I dug my old Muzunos out of the closet.  I also have been icing after each run.  Ideas, thoughts, experiences welcome!
