Things have gone downhill for me this week. On Thursday afternoon, well after my run, my foot just started hurting. It got worse and was terrible pain and burning. On Sat. I tried to run, but could only take like 4 running steps before I had to stop. I have decieded to take some time off until it feels better. I have done my eliptical machine, but I still feel discomfort in my foot while doing this. I have been icing and stretching and taking IB prophrine. Today it still aches but is feeling better. I tried taking some running steps and it felt better. In 15 years of running I have only experienced shin splints. I have never had injuries. I am bumbed but remain optimistic. It usually doesn’t take me long to get back to where I was.
