The Agony of D'feet
Actually it's my ankles more than my feet.
I have not run since last Thursday and I am beginning to go insane. Friday morning I could barely walk. Some of the people I work with (especially the ones who do no physical activity at all) find this highly amusing. My new pass time until I can run again will be to find ways to tourment them.
Anyway it is hard to actually pin point the pain, but there is this constant sort of shooting pain on the inner part of my calf from the ankle bone up about 6 inches. It is really painful when I push off the ball of my foot. If I roll slightly to the outside of my foot the pain then moves to my achilles.
While out at various bars on Monday looking for one that had an American satelite to get the Boston Marathon, I talked to a couple runners who have stress fractors. I don't think I have one of those (I don't want you so I am telling myself it's not that). Both were walking fine and there pain was very isolated unlike my indecisive constantly moving pain.
I had myself convinced that taking Sunday and Tuesday off would solve the problem, however today it isn't any better. I made an appointment with my physio for Thursday at lunch, so hopefully he will work a miracle and fix everything (positive thoughts ... positive thoughts).
