After not running regularly for several months, running feels as though I’m almost starting over.  I started running 2 years ago, well, probably not running, but I started the C25K plan just about 2 years ago.  I think I am probably at the stage I was just after I completed the plan.

For the last couple weeks I’ve been running just 3 miles, but even then I had to take walking breaks in the last 1 - 1.5 miles.  Today I managed to run 3 miles without walking and I did an extra mile with a couple walking breaks for a total of 4 miles.  It felt great!

My right heel has been great.  I have had absolutely no pain, discomfort nor stiffness.  Nothing at all all.  It feels perfectly normal.  I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I hope it’s a long time.  I even told my wife the bump at the back of my heel seems smaller, but she says it’s probably just wishful thinking

I have a follow up appointment with my Orthopedic surgeon on Monday to see how my heel is doing.

I am getting very slight stiffness in my left heel, but nothing I am worried about.

The plan for next week is to run 4 miles again on Sunday and then go back to 3-mile runs during the week.
