I am waiting on my RBK to get here so we can go get our Spa Week massages. I really need it after this week. She wanted to go Monday or Tuesday but I was so sore I couldn't possibly have someone touch me.
I don't know if was the difficult course, my shoes, or the combination of both that caused me to hurt so bad. I love my Vibrams so I'm going to blame the course. When you think of running a race in Florida, the last thing you think of is hill training. I wish I would have paid more attention to those bridges on the course map. My bad.
After 5 days of ice, foam rolling, a foot massage from Smooth, TEDS compression socks, and enough NSAIDs to give myself an ulcer, I can finally walk without my "swagger". Some parts of my feet are still hurting, but I feel so much better. I was thinking terrible thoughts, stress fracture, bone bruise, no more running. Yuck.
I had no idea that was a real quote. I thought I made it up. |
Only 6 weeks til the Stillwater Half in Stillwater, Minnesota. I will be working on hill training for this race. I hear Minnesota is not all that flat.
What is the website where you can look up past race times?
I had to laugh at that poster! I love it! I am in awe of your goal to run 50 halfs in 50 states before you are fifty! Awesome! I hope your foot gets completely better!
