Today was the first time running as part of the afternoon PT while the gym is shut down. It sucked with the heat. Of course, I had lunch about an hour and half prior to it so that didn't help. Got a side stitich in the middle of it even though I was prepared to push it to twice as far. Yippee for side stitches.
After my run last week on Monday, I had some pain on the top of my right foot that started the day after. The top is swollen and hurts every once in a while but keeping it up and motrin takes the swelling down fairly well. During the runs it hurts for the first few minutes and then goes away. But I keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get worse. Don't need that right now.

Blog laying out the highlights and lowlights of going from running 4-9 miles a week to running a marathon in 229 days at the California International Marathon. Hang with me on the trip ... could be enthralling or really, really boring. We'll find out. :-)
Great job! I'm really proud of you for doing it...even in the sucky heat. Keep it up!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHot sucks. Humidty sucks worse. So does rain. As does wind. You just have to suck it up and run anyway...
ReplyDeleteGreat job Markus! Keep an eye on that foot!
