Two consecutive days of no running, but I have good excuses. One, my mother is still in the hospital. Following her seizure in Target last Saturday, she was set to be released. In 2001, she had a heart attack, so Monday, they did a stress test, etc. and found an artery that was 95% blocked. A stint was placed yesterday with success and she is fine. That was excuse number one. I have had this bone on the inside portion of my right foot for years. It has never bothered me, but on a few of my runs, it gets a bit tender and the arch of my foot sometimes feels strange. A subsequent trip to the Podiatrist revealed what I had previous diagnosed via the internet. I have accessory navicular syndrome. Google it and look at the pics. It appears that I have a growth on the side of my foot. Shalane Flanagan had the same problem last year, had surgery and is now fast as ever. Us FAST people have similar problems - ha! I will start wearing orthotics, so he does not feel that I will need surgery. The tendon of the foot, during push off, has to stretch beyond this boney growth, which irritates it and thus irritates me!
Today is my CV workout and I should feel quite fresh with two days off. This weekend, while in Georgia, I will get in some get hill workouts. |
