Pain in the……

foot. I am finally seeing a podiatrist tomorrow for my nagging foot pain that has been with me since running the Chicago marathon. In reading symptoms on the internet, it sounds a lot like a stress fracture. It feels fine during the day just walking and so forth, but running starts it hurting. It also hurts first thing when I wake up. If I touch the source of the pain, it is VERY sore. Strange as it sounds, a stress fracture would actually be a better alternative to a tendon issue or ligament issue. Those take a lot longer to heal. Oh well, I will report back tomorrow. In the meantime (until I hear otherwise), I will still be running as much as I can. So far this week I have only managed 6 miles. Actually the first run was pain free until the end, then it really hurt. More tomorrow.
