When I got my treadmill, I thought it would be easy. I would just get on it and run. A month or so into it, I am having a lot of pain in my left heel. Sometimes I can't even walk it is so painful. Of course I have done internet research and I think that it is something called Plantar Fasciitis. Apparently overweight, older people with high arches are prone to this condition when running. That's me rolled up into one sentence! Anyways, it hurts! Hopefully when I go home for Christmas, my brother (an athletic trainer), can help me out. Here is a link with more information: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/plantar-fasciitis/DS00508
I am up to 20 minutes a couple times a week. Nine of those minutes are running at a 4.
I am going to start another food journal. Maybe I should do it on here? Since no one reads this, it would be a safe place to publish everything - food journal, weight, exercise log. Let's see if I can remember to start this on Sunday!
