I've been allowing my foot to heal for a few days (one of us has to try to rest). Since I was the only one in my office today, I did some research and analysis on my foot. I decided it is not a stress fracture - seems to follow the rules of tendonitis. I went to Wasatch Running this afternoon and had a good conversation with the owner. I bought two different pairs of insoles with more forefoot padding and arch support and am going to rotate them in my different running shoes. I also bought a foot massager and will use that a few times a day to help the muscles relax. He also recommended I research arnica instead of Ibuprofen, so I am going to google that later today. /*********/ Race information: Wasatch Running is taking input on the Grand Slam 2009. Go to the Grand Slam website and you can put your input in on which races you want included. I mentioned that he should include an ultra or two as Grand Slam options and he said that he might consider a Utah ultra Grand Slam. There is a new ultra starting in May, 2009 with 30K and 50K options. It will start at Camp Williams and head west. It is called the Sapper Joe 50K & 30K on May 23, 2009 starting at 6 a.m. (all trail)
