I ran 8 miles this morning in 1:03:10 with an average HR of 136-137 bpm. So, HR was lower than yesterday, however it was still higher than is preferrable, and my HR during the second half of the run was much higher than during the first half (132 average during the first half, and about 140 average during the second half, similar to Tuesday).
It was very cold again as well, with temperatures at about -9 farenheit at the start of my run, -6 at the finish, and with windchill approaching -30 degrees. This is the coldest weather I have ever gone out to run in, but I wore so much clothing that I wasn't really cold at all.
My foot only bothered me for a few minutes at the beginning of the run, and my back felt pretty good as well as there was less stiffness than yesterday. I still need to monitor my foot a lot, as there is a fair amount of pain if I press on the lateral side near the 5th metatarsal.
