No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Hot tips for winter running:

Screwshoes
Poor man's cleats. this works a LOT better than you would think! Very quick and easy.

LittleHotties
Are you cheap like me? Put those little hotties in a ziplock bag and use them again tomorrow!

Kickstart your dead Garmin
Hold down the reset/lap button and the mode button together to get your 205/305/310xt to restart if it won't turn on or if it freezes up.

I got a sharp pain in the bottom of my foot just behind the middle and second smallest toes. I tried walking a bit and it was worse than running so I continued to run back home. It was much better by the time I got back home and I considered finishing the run, but decided to just take it easy until Saturday. What the heck? It still hurts off and on when I walk. It feels like there's a little rock or something inside my foot that's grinding against the bone when I take a step, but not all the time.

Broken? or fractured?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 21:03:27 from 75.196.43.71

I don't know? I'm hoping it will just get better after a day or two off.

Scorpion sting?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 18:03:57 from 75.196.43.71

Maybe if I was running barefoot in Arizona :)

I just looked at the course map for the Half on Saturday and it's different than it was in 2007. http://www.usatf.org/routes/view.asp?rID=319495

There's a comment that says it's tougher than before, but apparently more scenic. The route I ran in '07 did kind of suck, it was straight out and back on a boring, dusty highway with no shade.

My foot is feeling a lot better, but still not 100% yet. I'm still on the fence about my goal time...

morton's neuroma?

Hook worm.

Glad to hear that the foot is feeling better hope it gets back to 100% for your race.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 19:12:49 from 75.196.2.225

Dr. Allie nailed it. My symptoms match morton's neuroma exactly. Now I'm a little worried about treatment, but we'll see how it goes tomorrow...

So have you seen a doc? What is going on?

From rAtTLeTrAp on Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 18:36:05 from 76.121.76.165

I'm calling the doc Monday...

allie nailed it! I was way off.
