Run Danny Run!

So, yesterday, I had so much fun running with Danny! We are going to try to run together every Tuesday and Thursday evening. Aside from almost getting run over by a car and running in pitch black through Sunshine Ranches, the run was fun and successful.

We ran 4 miles at a pretty quick pace and my foot didn't hurt one bit. And although Danny is almost double my height, we stayed at the same pace the whole way. I love finding good running partners. Yay!

In other news, Happy Hannukah everyone! Have a wonderful weekend.

Pain Pain Go Away!

My foot pain has subsided...yay! My foot is taped and I have been taking my meds and wearing my splint to bed, and I am pain-free...for now. I ran 4 miles yesterday on the treadmill and at an incline, and had no pain during or after my run. Very good news!

My next appointment is on the 16th and the doctor will let me know if all my swelling is gone. (He uses an ultrasound to do that!)

I'm just glad I am semi-normal once again and can walk without feeling pain. Four miles with Danny tonight, woohoo and 10 miles with Ryan on Sunday!

Hey injuries, leave me alone!

I have plantar fasciitis. Doctor taped my foot and prescribed medication. I have a splint to wear to bed now. If everything goes as planned, I will be healed in about a week. I can continue to run and cross train, which is great. I'm just not allowed to run super long distances, like my 18 mile run this Sunday, or wear flip flops or any other flat shoes.

Also, next week he will be making me orthotics (shoe inserts that mold to my feet) to help with ankle, knee and back pain. Thank goodness, because I'm starting to feel like an 80 year old woman with arthritis.

So, the good news is that the marathon is still on! Yay!
