FOOT

In the effort to make this blog a true portrayal of my training, not just for others to read, but for myself to look back on, I should have written days ago, but I didn't because I wanted to avoiddddd it. On Monday afternoon, my right foot started really hurting, and it was painful to even walk on. It was really uncomfortable and completely out of nowhere. On Tuesday, it felt about the same and I went to see my doctor, who sent me for an x-ray that afternoon. The x-ray came back negative, as she thought it might, so I scheduled a bone scan for Friday morning. Luckily, my foot started to really feel better yesterday. To avoid cabin fever, I went out to (slowly) run an errand and it felt okay to walk around a little on. Today I went to lunch (to see my ADORABLE nephew make a circle on the floor around himself with cereal and pasta) and it felt comfortable to walk more or less normally on it. I'm still going to go for the scan tomorrow; I have it scheduled already, and I want to be cautious, especially in terms of working my body in a way that is still fairly new to me.

It was frustrating not knowing what would happen, especially in regards to my training. I know race day is getting closer and closer, and especially with August being a busy travel month (Vegas! Camp! Montreal!), I know my training is going to be altered. I'm really happy and relieved that I feel better, instead of just the plain 'ol same, and hopefully the scan will come back fine and I can ease back into training next week. Fingers crossed!
