Started out well enough. Did the community WOD on Saturday, and then ran 6.3 miles on Sunday. Then, a couple of hours after my run I was walking around the house, took a step and OUCH! Radiating pain in my left foot. What is up with that? Tried to walk it off - made it worse. Monday came around and it was painful to walk on (as long as I was sitting it was fine). So, being that it was Christmas Eve and everyone is closed, I went to the local Urgent Care center and wasted $50 to be told it doesn't seem to be broken and rest it. Oh, and if it's no "significantly" better by Wednesday, come back or go see my primary doctor.
Today is Wednesday. Not better. Went to the doctor. Saw Dr. Nguyen - super nice guy who, it turns out, is a runner as well! Had a nice chat about running half and full marathons, and other such runner talk. Bottom line is I need new running shoes. Which, I knew, just was hoping to get a few more miles out of the ones I have. And, no running until the pain goes away. Hmph.
Doesn't help that I ate myself into a carb-loaded, full of gluten frenzy yesterday and I'm feeling all kinds of yucky today. I have come to the conclusion that I'm not one of those people who can have "cheat" days - I don't even think I can have "cheat" meals. I feel like a total slug today. Back to Paleo - STAT!!
Tomorrow - I WILL get up early and work on sit ups and push ups AND burpees. Here's hoping my foot feels well enough to do the community WOD on Saturday. I am suffering some serious withdrawals and need a fix!!
