Subject: RE: 5X5 ChallengeI've got a problem that I thought that I would ask the group (and Kate in particular since I saw that she posted something similiar under injuries ). Last week (Sat ) on my long run, I noticed extreme tenderness at the bottom of my feet around mile 15. 'Course everything was hurting so what the hey. Ran Sun thru Wed and no pain while running. I think tho that I had some foot tenderness Wed afterwards but not sure if I'm remembering correctly. Thurs - extreme pain around my heels. Not the heels themselves but on the outside of the foot, more intense on the inside. Friday, no pain and I went for my long run. I think the pain started at the very end (11 miles ) but then the pain was there that evening. Still there yesterday and today. I think it's tightness in the tendons/ligaments/something because I can feel the pain when I flex my feet so that rules out bruises, right? This morn, I flexed my feet and really felt like all was ok. Got out of bed and dang, it hurts again to walk Pain subsides the longer I'm on my feet. Decided to go to out for a run today but threw in the towel after 3 min. Any ideas?? I'm thinking about using the foot roller to work out kinks and I'm going to schedule a massage. Just wanted to see if others had any ideas. Thanks. I know it's not the right place to post but I thought I'd ask you 5x5 runners. |
