This past week has just been a not good week for me and running at all.
Earlier in the week I suffered a horrible migraine and then had a few days of decent running. We've been averaging about 1.5 because Eryn's knee is not good and her doctor doesn't want her pushing herself too hard right now which I totally support.
On Thursday night we went for what was supposed to be a 1.5 mile run. Around the mile mark my foot started to hurt and 2 laps later I could barely walk on it. The outer right side was throbbing in pain and shooting up to my ankle. I barely was able to walk on Friday night either. I think it was due to the heels I was wearing to work the day before - they were higher than I am used to and I think it messed with my foot more than I thought it would.
I've iced it all weekend and wrapped it when I walk and it feels much better. I don't think it was a stress fracture because when I spoke with my student who had/has one she said her foot swelled up horribly and mine hasn't at all. Just pain when I walk. I'm hoping it will be slightly better tomorrow so I can run this week.
In exciting news, I finally got my Nike+ watch! I can't wait to start training with it! When Joey went to weigh in today for Big Loser at Runner's World I bought the shoe holder for it. Now I'll be a big dork with my key holder on one shoe and my Nike+ holder on my other shoe but it will be worth it if this thing works as well as it is supposed to.
Hopefully this past week is all the pain I will endure this year with running. I feel like in one week to have this many issues should clear me for a few good months. : ) We shall see. Still on course for the next 5k (we downgraded due to Eryn's knee) in Feb. No more issues before then I hope!!
When I went to the SACSA conference in November, I wore heels the entire time and omg! I couldn't run for a few days after I got home. They messed my feet up so badly! I think we both learned our lesson, uh?! :)
