Subject: 5.7.18 Monday Morning! Hey BT, good morning! 4:45am: off running, full body strength + stretching Made it home from Missouri Saturday night. Weirdest thing...overnight I kept waking up to pain in my right foot but would fall back asleep. Sunday morning got out of bed to land on a super painful foot--the top of my foot over my 2nd and 3rd toe was hugely swollen as well as the pad of my foot. It was so swollen my foot felt high centered--I couldn't put my weight on it. Bummer as I had a 4 hour run to do yesterday. I spent the day icing it and researching possibilities--seemed like a mix between extensor tendonitis and metatarsalgia. Started feeling pretty bummed by the end of the day--best remedy is of course rest--but I'm 4 weeks out from my 50K and have some big weekends coming up. Wouldn't you know it...woke up this morning and all swelling is gone and except for a niggle on the top of the foot, it feels fine! To be safe I didn't run this morning but seems like I should be good to go tomorrow. I have no idea what the heck that was all about! Have a great day, another fabulous week of training ahead! |
