It has now been one month since I started back running and almost 4 weeks since I had the cortisone shot in my right heel.  My running chart hasn’t looked this good in a long time:

My right heel has been holding up great and I have just some very minor soreness in my left heel, but even then, it’s only periodic.  I think my worse pain or soreness was actually yesterday.  For some reason my hips and inner thighs were extremely sore.  I don’t know why as I can’t recall doing anything out of the ordinary.  I also tried to go for a run yesterday and I just couldn’t do it.  My whole body felt tired.  I ran 0.25 miles before deciding I probably needed to rest.  I ran this morning instead and I felt fine.  Very odd!

The plan for now is to continue running 3-4 miles.  I can feel my fitness slowly coming back, but it’s now where near what I’d like it to be in order to start ramping up my mileage.
