Weight 210, Dist 9.27K, Time 1:06, Pace 7:07, Avg 148 bpm
This was Tuesday's run. I am out again tonight on the track up at the school.
On Sunday my knee was sore and I stopped at 22K. Later on Sunday I noticed that my foot hurt. The knee was iced and settled down but 4 days later the top of my foot still hurts. It feels like someone stomped on my foot and bruised it.
I have iced and heated and it's still there. It seems to be tendinitis. Thank the Lord it is not a stress fracture. According to the internet I would be in more pain if it was a stress fracture. It feels more like my shoelaces were too tight and then my foot swelled and it resulted in pain in the top of the foot. It feels like a bruise. You know one of those that bruises the bone. Painful suckers!
Since I started running: I have had pain in my right knee, pain in my left knee, pain in my shins, pain in my Soleus, pain in the upper thigh/hip flexors, pain in the kneecap, pain in the plantar fascia, black toenails, pain in the lower back. It's like a free floating pain festival! It's like a teenager - It never leaves home - it just flops around to different parts of the house!
I went out last night and did my stretching, core and knee machine work at the Y and then had a steam. Tonight I will run. In the AM, I think I will go over to the physio and see what they can do. Yep, more infrared and electrostimulation.
This Sunday I begin to taper (Ya gotta love Wikipedia!). Tapering is the practice of reducing, or tapering off, exercise in the days just before an important competition. For many athletes, a significant period of tapering is essential for optimal performance. The practice is most common in endurance-based sports, such as the marathon.
Catch ya later
