Recovery run today, as advised by Sasha I tryed to keep my heart rate around 130 but the only way I was able to do that was keep my mile splits around 9:30, I felt like I was walking. My Right foot is still bothering me, it does loosen up as the run gets going but then is sore after I sit down for a minute after my run. Its right on the bottom  of my foot in the arch of my foot. My splits went as follows; 9:07(174) my heart rate monitor was feeding me bad info on that first mile, 9:04(139), 10:04(137) steep hill in that mile, 9:06(141), 9:12(133), 9:24(134), 9:31(131) this is where I should be on my recovery runs, 9:12(134). My average pace was around 135 I figured on that first mile it was on flat ground and I was moving pretty slow so my real heart rate was more like 133. Total time was 1:14:50 and average pace was 9:21, it was hard to go that slow but I will just have to push myself to go that slow on the recovery day's.  No strength training today I am only Icing my foot, ooch.

Speed run tomorrow, hopefully my legs and foot will cooperate.

9:30 pace should feel relaxed but not painfully slow. 9:30 pace feeling too slow provides a clue as to why you get injured so easily. It suggests that your nervous system is stronger than your muscles and joints, so given a chance it will run the rest of your body into the ground. To neutralize the aggressive nervous system on a recovery day, every 5 minutes or so do a 15 second acceleration at about your mile race pace, then ease back into a slow pace.
