Went out today to test and see how I felt. We had a pretty slow pace, 9:40, but I felt okay. My arch is still sore off and on and my knees felt pretty good most the time. There was just one instance that I had the sharp pain. In thinking through all of this more and understanding a little more of what is going on, I think this all relates back to my tight calves about a month ago. The tight calves pulled on my foot creating Plantar Faciitis. This in turn is causing my gait to be off which is hurting my knee. I all but 100% confirmed this today when I did just that and that is when I go the sharp pain. So today I will continue rubbing my legs down with the "stick", and icing and rolling my baseball under my foot. The plan is to take it easy again tomorrow and then work back up next week. Enough of my whining about my "injuries" Today is 80's day at my work. We have been planning for almost two months and have been very excited. I was supposed to go to the DI last night and get my costume but because of kids and baseball practice and movie nights (no school in our district today) and a work crisis it did not get done. So I am left to peg my pants and flip up my collar. I want my pink high heels with socks and big bows and really, really big hair. Not happening. Happy Leap Year & Happy Running! |
