Tomorrow marks 3 weeks of no running and my foot is no better for it. I'm going to start back with some super easy miles this coming weekend so I won't be hitting Bandera completely cold on Jan 10. Not sure what to make of my foot situation. Several months ago we have some good friends who are building a house out of a mud concoction and they enlisted of bunch of friends to come out and help for a day. When we got there they immediately put me to work working on the mix for the mud bricks. To do this you have to use your bare feet to mix it up. Well, sure enough just a few minutes in I step on something that is super painful. When I reach down to investigate I realized it's a piece of chicken wire coming from under the blue tarp and it won't come out!! I call out to my friend Stef and tell him I need help dislodging this wire from my foot. He gets it out and it's not too painful so we stay for several hours working and I continue on the mud bricks.
To shorten this story some, that part of my foot is a touch achy and the outer portion of the sole of my foot is also creaky/ achy in the mornings. I've tried several plantar boots to no avail. My next plan is to try some deep massage and acupuncture but I'm gonna keep on trucking on my running. My foot doesn't feel any worse when I've been running......
