No running today. :-( I had hoped to get home in time to run before my Podiatrist appointment, but no luck. Saw the doc and it looks like I may be able to get away with 2-3 rounds of cortizone shots rather than killing the nerves with an alcohol based solution. This is good in that I'll just have to go back every 3 weeks or so 2-3x, rather than every week for 6-7x. Both nerves in both feet are extremely inflamed and so I had to get two shots in the top of each foot. Freakin' painful! I shouldn't run "until the weekend," according to the doc. So, since I'm only working a half day on Thursday and I have Friday off, that means my weekend really starts on Thursday, so I'll be giving it a go then. :-) I don't see how running will make a difference since the cortizone is in the foot and running isn't going to change that, and if walking doesn't dilute it or move it around the foot, then I don't get it. But I'll take a couple days off and work on my pectorals and gluteus maximuses (or is it maximi?). Might as well get looking good so I can wear the FRB singlet without a base layer. :-) I could lose a little of the muffin tops, but that will have to wait until I'm running more miles. lol
I knew everyone would be sooo interested in my foot adventures, and you were waiting with baited breath to hear my diagnosis, that I had to update all of you immediately. Stay tuned!
