post the eighty-ninth, 2013

so i ran a few times last week and it went pretty well, and i was thinking maybe i'd cram some training and run a 5k on memorial day, then - boom. foot pain. sheesh. it seems to have plateaued at sort of an "okay" level. like, it's maybe 65% or so, up to like 85. it's never 100% but it's never less than 50... it doesn't enjoy running a lot but it doesn't enjoy resting a lot, either. the main bad feeling is this hot buzzing on the outside under my ankle bone up to the outside of the arch...

this is not my footsie.

...okay, i found a picture. this is not my foot, but it's well-marked. see the 5th metatarsal base? if i put both hands just above there and around the circumference of my foot and squeeze like i'm juicing my toes... ahhhh.... relief. the only other way to get relief is an ice-water dunk.

but that's just when it's buzzing, and it doesn't buzz all the time. but you know the bottom line here -- training for 5k's is out of the question right now.




GAH!!
