    Thanks. I'm gonna give it another whirl tonight.

    Don't do it if still sore. You can knock yourself out of commission for several days if overdone.

    Once not sore, put something of weight on forefoot and lift it up.

    Also, may be a real heel lander, pounding your bones badly. Try landing more flat footed and absorbing the shock with the whole leg. To see what this feels like, take the shoes off and run like when you were a kid, around an artificial turf high school football field or such to bring back that feeling. Try to imitate with shoes on.

    I'm not really sore, it's tight feeling. I am a heel lander. Who knew there were different ways to run? I'm gonna google running technique and work on it.
