AM - 15 Coral Canyon. Got out to practice early to get some mileage in, but it was very slow and painful. By the time practice started up I actually felt quite a bit better, but that is kind of a usual tendinitis thing - warm up a bit and it works it's way out, only to come back stronger. So I promised myself that I would shut it down for the rest of the week. Up to Monday morning that's about 3 days - so hopefully that helps a bit. I am just kind of bummed because I am enjoying my running a lot right now and am ready to push myself a bit, but the pain just won't let me. I did a little more research and have decided it is extensor tendonitis. It is red and inflammed and all swollen up, and after today there was some bruising across the top of my foot and starting up the leg. I told Al that she can't let me run tomorrow because already on the way home from a neighbor's wedding (that I had to rush home from practice to) I was thinking of just going back out tomorrow and seeing how it felt.
