I did something terrible to my right foot last week. On Monday it felt funny while I was running but I decided to power through it. Bad move. It started to hurt and I had to limp home. I took off last Tuesday hoping it would heal. Wednesday I had to stop running (more like thunking) after a mile and limp home. Since then I've been icing it but it hasn't improved.
I saw my podiatrist on Wednesday. He gave me an anti inflammatory, told me to do 10 minutes in ice water and 10 in hot water, to create a pump to get rid of the fluid. I'm not supposed to be on my feet any more than neccessary. I probably won't be able to run my race. I probably won't be able to take my class.
I can feel my fitness level dropping and my muscles turning to jelly.
If I don't improve by next Wednesday, I go back for a cortizone shot. Even if that works right away, I probably won't be up to my level in time to race or start class.
It sucks.
The good news is that I went in to sign the contracts for the condo. There's a few sticky points but hopefully everything will be moving forward shortly.
Merry Christmas!!!
