Easy run outside. It felt nice to be back on my old stomping grounds. My ears were freezing the first few miles (should have worn a hat) but after that I felt fine. Started out really slow 8:50 first mile and then gradually eased into a comfortable 8:10ish pace. Felt great then entire time until the last quarter of a mile when my stupid left foot started throbbing. I am not sure what to make of this. It is even a little painful walking now.
Dr. google tells me it could possibly be peroneal tendonitis? I don't know but the plan for tomorrow is to keep the LR close to home just incase. Feeling frustrated and really hope this can resolve itself. I had a similar problem on my right foot about a month ago and it seemed to go away after a couple of days so hopefully this will be the same. PM: I planned on going to the gym to lift weights since I have totally slacked off this week but it is just way to nice outside to be stuck in a stuffy gym so I took the pup for a jog instead. 2 miles nice and easy. My foot does not hurt at all really while running but as soon as I stopped it started hurting again. Very weird. The plan is to keep the LR close to home tomorrow just incase. It will be a major mental toughness test for me since I absolutely hate doing long runs alone. I always end up running alone in races so it will be good practice. |
