The antibiotics are during a good job and the two areas on my foot are healing.  The run today was another run/walk.  One of the infected areas is on my middle toenail.  I could feel how loose the nail was when I was running and it was bugging me.  Well, it was half off by the time I finished, so I took the rest off.  So gross!!  I think it will really heal fast now.  Lots of nasty infection was behind the nail.  The other area, on the ball of my foot, is still sore but clean and healing. 

The mary this weekend will be for fun.  I wanted to go under 4:00, but I'm way under trained.  There will be lots of walking involved.  Oh well, I'm on the mend.  I'll just consider this recovery my break before all the big training starts.  I am loving the warm weather!!!

I probably should have waited another day before running, but the weather is great.  I had to do a run/walk, but at least I got in a few miles.  The infection is almost gone.  Still have another 6 days of antibiotics.  Now, the incisions just need to heal and I will be all set.

Biked with Dave this morning. Dave's new bike is really HOT!!!  Trek TTX.  Had some wind and hit the hills.  Good ride.   Great weather!  The two infected areas on my foot are healing.  Still sore, but the infection is clearing.  Much less painful. 

Foot is still healing.  I woke up early this mroning to go to the gym, but my foot was still sore.  I may go this afternoon. 
 

I had my foot looked at again this morning.  It is getting better but still swollen, red, hot, and infected.  I'm getting a stronger antibiotic. 

Well, today will be a rest day.  A surgeon had to open 2 areas on my foot and drain it.  NOT FUN!!!  PAINFUL!!  The infection had gotten too bad to heal with antibiotics alone.    I'm now on stronger antibiotics and have pain pills if I need them.  I need to heal.  Hope to be ready for the pig next weekend!!!

My foot & toes were so swollen last night.  It is amazing how fast an infection can set in.  I took some pain medication last night along with the antibiotic to allow for sleep.  Woke up too late to get to the gym this morning.  The antibiotic is starting to help.  The swelling is going down, however, it is still sore.  It should be much better by tomorrow.  Too many injuries for all of us IM Louisville folks so early in the season!!

The antibiotics are helping. Foot still swollen, but I was able to get on bike shoes.  :-)  Skipping the pool tonight.  Chlorine may be helpful, but there are probably many other germs around the pool deck.
