It's not going to be as interesting as Ande's but I realized when I was powerlifting 10 years ago that this is the best way for me to track and evaluate my progress so here it is.
You may be surprised how long it takes your heel to heal. I smacked my heels on the gutter on December 2 (2007) and even now if I push on the right heel I can find the tender spot. Twice in the four weeks after doing it I really set it off again by bumping it lightly on a chair leg. It didn't interfere with hiking, lifting, spinning, or swimming, but slip-on shoes were really uncomfortable for several weeks.
