What's up with my heel?

It seems like it is coming from tightness in my leg, but my left heel is sore.  This started right after finishing my 7 mile run on Sunday.  It was a nice run.  I think I averaged about 11:18, which isn't bad for me, especially for a windy day.  I had a few niggles during the run, in particular, the right hip returned at about mile 6, but it didn't bother me much.  It's this heel.  I haven't had this before.  And it's on the other side.  Hmmm.  So, I've been rolling that leg.

Today, instead of lifting like would have been the plan, I did a yoga program, hoping that would help stretch.  The program I chose ended up not being the most stretchy program, but it was still good.  That's when I really could tell I have some tightness in that left leg.  I felt it in the calf and in the hamstring.  I did "Yoga for Buns" from YogaDownload.  It really is a great program.  I even start sweating during it.

We'll see where this leads!

Are you stretching after you lift?

No, but I probably should.
