Interesting that you deliberately changed your stride from a shorter mid-foot strike to a longer heel strike... that's the exact opposite of what barefoot runners and ultramarthoners are trying to get people to do these days. Supposedly shorter strides and mid/forefoot strike lessens injury, though research has deemed this claim inconclusive.

I generally hate running, but am currently listening to "Born to Run" on tape on recommendation and loan from a coworker, and it's sort of making me think I might be willing to change my mind about that.
