8.1 miles this morning on the Porter Rockwell trail.  Initially felt some pain in my heel but it went away quickly.

This workout felt really good until the cooldown, no pain at all.  Once I slowed down my heel really started hurting.  I thought about walking home but kept going at a slow jog.  The rest of the day I was limping around a lot.  I probably messed up any recovery I gained from last week's low mileage.

Then at mile 9 my heel started hurting bad. By mile 10, I gave up 4th place. I think I ended up 6th or 7th place. I expected to feel some discomfort on my heel/Achilles but I was hoping it wouldn't slow me down too much. Disappointing.
