Racing through the Madness

R foot sore. Booo!  Been sore for about a week but really lingered afterwards today.  Iced it in the creek after the run.  Still a little tender.  Its hard to tell whether or not to attribute it to the new shoes.  Maybe i should just take a few days off.   But how many is enough?  I hate the guess work of being a self diagnostician, but im certainly not gonna pay for a damn xray with no insurance.  

I can't believe i took 3 days off.  iced and adviled.  im thinking it may have been peritoneal tendonitis rather than a stress fracture, in which i should probably take it easy, but i just cant stand injuries.  Its like taking my drug away, and im going thru running withdrawals and me and everyone around me has to suffer.  gonna try a 5 mile in my old shoes. we will see. 

Had a slight dull ache. no actual pain. began approx a mile and a half out, but didnt really get  any worse, in fact i probably wouldve forgotten about it if i hadnt been so tuned into it the entire time, observing it. nontheless, im currently icing it.  i will probably refrain from the advil regimen, i hate taking pills. perhaps will buy some tape to compress later on to get a nice blood flow going into those tendons.  running is directly correlated with my sanity and my sobriety so i am praying that this will pass quickly

what a horribly unproductive week! at least i seemed to stop a potentially season threatening injury in its tracks.  just gotta think on the positive side.  still have a little over a month and a half till the half marathon
