I went to the podiatrist on Wednesday, got another xray...no fracture that we could see. The point of pain in my heel is not at the origin of my plantar fascia though - so it's still a bit of a mystery. I got another injection in my foot, a script for naprosyn for 10 days and have to lay off running on it. On Thursday my foot felt so much better!! I still feel the soreness in my heel, but it isn't nearly as bad as what it was. The doc did say that I can bike or do the elliptical in the meantime. Problem is I don't have a gym membership. So long as the rain holds off this weekend, I'll get my bike out and go for a ride.
Stephen and I will begin the Power 90 workouts on May 4th and have decided to commit to watching our calorie intake with the program. I'm excited about doing a program together and think it will go much better that way for us :) I'll just have to do my runs in addition to what the program entails. I'm quite nervous about even attempting Bayshore at this point because I haven't been running....I guess I'll try to run beginning in may and see if I have any pain. I don't want to risk getting seriously injured. San Francisco is too important! I must be healed up by June.
I'm looking forward to getting out of town for a few days... Traverse city here we come :) Can't wait to go golfing, so it better not rain!
Well, I switched to the half for Bayshore. I still haven't ran. I did a half mile on the treadmill last week. I'm trying to go slow. I'm going to run next Sunday and just ignore the pain and get ready for Bayshore, I'll pay the consequences after Bayshore is over. I have been going to the fitness center at Delta every morning before work. I can see some muscle definition appearing. I'm still playing hockey twice a week for cardio, but this morning my foot really hurt after, so I might have to stop. After Bayshore I'm going to rest completely for a couple months. Maybe no marathon for me in the fall.
