Ran about 2 miles before my foot started hurting. Ran another 2 before I thought it would be a good idea to stop.
I was afraid that I had a stress fracture because my foot still hurt just in one spot two days later after icing and ibueprofin. I drove 125 miles to have my dad (podiatrist) look at it. He took xrays and luckily it is only tendonitis in the peroneus longus. I'm relieved that it's not a stress fracture.
Anyway, I have to stop running for about a week until it doesn't hurt anymore. After that I have to run less on the treadmill. Bummer, but I guess I can still run outside on the weekends and then just run a few miles on the treadmill during the days of the week. It's funny because it didn't hurt at all until partway through the run on Tuesday.
I'm going to try the rowing machine at the gym in the meantime. We'll see how that goes, since I'm not sure that they even have one. But I'll find something to do, I'm sure. I'll go tomorrow when I get back home. I'm annoyed that this didn't happen while I was at my parent's house earlier in the week.
