Ran around the track for one mile on drama foot just before spin class.  AP 8:03.  Seriously foot--- "now you listen here, I am in charge!!".  Spin class kicked my butt probably because I expect it to feel like SW running so I am never without tension.  I told the teacher that if I were without tension my legs would fall off from the motion of the wheel at TOP speed.  She wanted us to start out at a 7.5 intensity which she said was no tension.  Now that is ridiculous.  No tension is seriously nothing.  I was worked.  Or rather I worked myself hard.  Stupid foot.  Even in spin I can feel it since I don't have spin shoes and my shoes are too big (trail shoes) and make me hang  off out of the foot holders to be right at my plantar of my foot.  Oh well.  It wasn't at all like running just felt bruised.  Sooooo.....the GOOOOOOODDDDDDDD  NEEEEEWWWWWSSSSS.    Yesterday my husband and home teacher gave me a blessing.  I felt what I am going thru truly has a purpose.  Then today I went to my chiropracter (who I should have gone to when I noticed my hip out over three weeks ago which led to this injury ricocheting to my foot).  He told me my entire leg was turned inward remarkably.  He did ultrasound on my plantar fascia and some light scraping.  Then he adjusted me after massaging several areas.  He worked on me for 40 minutes straight.  Ahhhh.   I was a little skeptical about healing but amazingly I already had 75 percent reduction in pain walking out of there.  I am nervous to think I could walk all day on my foot so I will take it easy.  I am finally getting excited for Boston.  My Aunt Dottie (lives in Rhode Island) just booked me a room for my family 14 miles from the starting line in Hopkinton.  She lives 10 miles from my hotel in Franklin, Massachusetts.  Yahoo!!!  I haven't seen her since 1999!!  She has never married and has always been that wild and crazy funloving aunt growing up.  We have had a lot of good times together.  She is my dad's sister.  My dad died in a car accident with my sister in 1982.  So this will so wonderful to see her and all my other family members!!!  Go FIGHT WIN!!    : D.
