40 min. on the elliptical.  I can't last much longer on that machine - I'm sure I'm doing it all wrong but my back starts aching on it.  I jogged a few yards on the way to the gym and my foot feels a little better, about like it felt on my last run - not comfortable, but runnable.  Of course running on it when it feels like that leads to bad things.  So I'll wait.  The med clinic opens in about an hour so I'll go see what they have to say.

The Longhorns and the Texans both staying undefeated in tough games this weekend has made a lot of the hurt go away I think...mental and physical maybe.

**Update - I went to the "doctor's" office, but when I saw the lieutenant rank on the guy I knew I wouldn't be seeing an actual doctor.  He did his best though.  Anyway, didn't get my questions answered on which tendon, or what kind of remedies would prevent it (other than stretching, duh).  He could really only speak in generalities and didn't have the knowledge that I needed.  He did give me a rx NSAID though - meloxicam - so we'll see what that does.  I looked it up and it seems legit, although it was invented for arthritis.  We'll see what a week or two of that does.

Hope you have some good luck at the clinic. I'll say a quick prayer :)

Good luck with the meloxicam. It gives me some major GI issues but hopefully it doesn't do that to you! I hope the pain lays off soon and you can get back to pounding the pavement. Good job on the elliptical. If I recall correctly Allie once called it a flailing machine LOL.

Patience, Patience.....its for the birds!

It's frustrating when you don't know what's wrong for sure.

At least it's not vitamin M...

Sounds like you probably know more about your ailment than the "doctor". I once got on a treadmill when there wasn't an elliptical available and it seemed to actually go easier on my foot than the elliptical. Depends on the injury, though. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks Tracy!

April - seems like I'm just a little queasy, but nothing too bad at all. Flailing is exactly what the elliptical feels like.

Rye, I agree.

Mike, would be nice to know exactly what is wrong so I can potentially prevent a recurrence.

Flat - yeah, I'll have to give the TM a try, who knows..
