Subject: Numb Toes After First HIMI completed my first HIM on Sunday (Spirit of Morgantown in WV ). My training leading up to the race this year was not what it should have been. I got Lyme disease in the spring, the weather sucked, my work schedule and my son's sports schedule kept causing me to miss training sessions, then finally, I got bursitis under my left knee cap about 1 month before the race. Because of this, I backed WAY off on my run training in the last month before the race, almost to nothing. My coach & I decided that being undertrained on race day was better than being injured. The run was very difficult, but I just gutted it out. Since then, the middle toe on my right foot has been numb. It feels like it was shot up with novacaine. It seems like it's getting a little better, but not much. From what I've found on line, I think it might be Morton's Neuroma, but am not certain. Who else has had this sort of problem after a race? How long did your's last? Was there anything you did to recover quicker? |
