I hate it when the body rebels. My left heel decided to have a bruise and it stopped my training for a week. I think it was a heel spur because it was so painful and it started after doing speed work with my super light speed walking shoes.
You can't be a bone head and rush back to your training plan. I know from past experience. I feel that it was a heel spur because I found I could walk on my heel with just a slight pain after one week. If it was an achilles tear I would be on the shelf for a month or more.
If you check my Exercise Log (www.shapelink.com/mydiary ) you will see how I eased back into a training schedule until I was able to go for broke again. I RaceWalked the 5miles of the Mattapoisett road race course on Wednesday May 28th and finished with a time of 1 hour 13 minutes with no pain or injury.
Did speed intervals Saturday May 31st at Healthtrax because it was raining. Training is coming along although I see my goal of 12 minute miles becoming just a dream but I will try to get as close as I can by giving 110% to my training schedule. Injury stay away from my door LOL. The 4th of July race day is around the corner.
