Ran the Airport Loop with Dan. I was feeling a lot better today after taking a day off yesterday. However, half-way through my run, my left foot started to hurt. It hurt at the highest point in my arch. It is still tender to the touch and I have to walk with my weight on the outide of my foot for it not to hurt. It feels like it is bone but I am not sure. Today was the third day using my new pair of shoes, and I have been wearing a new pair of nicer shoes around work. I am hoping it is because my work shoes are not supportive enough as that is easy to fix. I REALLY hope it is nothing more serious like a stress fracture.

I am open to suggestions as to what to do to diagnose/treat it.

Ran a couple of easy miles on Dirt Roads by Work today. I wanted to test the foot carefully. I woke up with no pain today so I hoped for the best. I wore more supportive shoes to work and wore my older running shoes during the run(Nike Pegasus rather than my new ones (Asics GT-2110, as they might have been the problem). Every step I took during the run caused the arch to hurt. It wasn't real severe, but I felt mild discomfort. It didn't change in intensity during the run.

After reading the comments from Nick and Andy, I agree with them that it is most likely not a Stress Fracture. I think it is some kind of a pulled tendon or ligament in that foot. I plan on taking it easy, and maybe take a few days off if it doesn't get better soon.

Post Edit: I feel that it is not the running shoes but rather the "Everyday shoes". They lack any arch support whatsoever. I will wear better everyday shoes and see if there is improvement. I feel that it is better today than yesterday, but far from 100%. I will play tomorrows run by ear and see what happens.

No running today to let foot heal. It felt fine sitting, light discomfort walking, and I didn't even try and run. Taking a day off was probably good because I had an ear ache and went to the doc for it. Double ear infection. Lovely. My body is falling apart one piece at a time.

I am very pleased to say that my foot feels great!  I decided to go for an easy 4 to test it out.  It started to twinge a bit by the last mile but I think it is almost better.  My left ear still doesn't work (Infection and is plugged).

It sure felt great to get out the door finally.  Even if it was only 15 degrees for a high today.

Ran an easy 8 to test out the foot.  It started to get pretty sore after 5 miles, so I quit @ 8 miles.  I ran on the Jordan River Parkway again.  Afterward, I went to the store and got some padded insoles that claim to help arch pain.  I have been wearing them all weekend and my foot feels great.  I think I will try them in my running shoes monday.

23.25 miles for the week.  Not very good at all.  I am feeling better from the Ear Infections so if my foot cooperates, I will have a better week next week.
