I did 6 miles in my old Pegasus's this morning at a slower pace (9:03) than usual.  I had planned to do 10 miles but Andrea said I should do shorter runs this week to hopefully prevent this heel or Achilles pain from getting worse.  I'm hoping that running in a shoe with a higher heel stack height will take some force off my Achilles.  I didn't feel any pain during the run.  I only felt a little pain this morning when I got out of bed.

I run through Achilles pain quite a bit (but only if it goes away during the run after it has a chance to warm-up, i take time off if it lingers). I've noticed that I can get a hot pad (10 bucks at walmart) or a warm, wet rag and just warm it up for a few minutes in the morning before the run.... helps the pain go right away.

Thanks, I'll try that.

That's good advice about warming up the Achilles and calf. Before the PHX marathon in 2013 I had some Achilles issues and warming it up a little w/ a hot pad really helped me through the last couple weeks of training before that marathon. Heat before, ice after.

I'm not great about heating and icing, so I'll have to get consistent.
