zubeneschamaliWell, the good news is, I correctly self-diagnosed why my foot's been hurting when I run. Thanks, Internet!
The bad news since, since the pain between my ankle and arch hasn't gotten much better since I ran the New York half marathon in March, the doctor who I finally went to go see about it told me that it's going to take a few more months of taking it easy. And physical therapy in the meantime. So no half in Seattle in four weeks. D: Maybe no half in the fall. DDD: And I somehow have to figure out how to exercise enough in the next few months to not put on weight again and make it even harder when I do get back to running.
Because I will get back to running. I just have to be patient about it. And not be super grumpy in the meantime like I've been since January. Hmph.

Date: 2015-06-15 21:42 (UTC)My doctor mentioned using the elliptical? (Which I've never done and fear I'd fall off.) Is that an option for you?
Or you could get into swimming and come do a triathlon with meeee!!! ;D
You'll be back and better, faster, stronger than ever soon.

Date: 2015-08-02 21:06 (UTC)I've actually given up pretty much all running over the past 10 days, since I want to be able to walk in France. Even so, I'm in such pain I'm actually considering getting a cortisone shot this week, just to get me through the trip. Odds of me actually making the marathon are getting slimmer and slimmer every non-training, non-healing day that goes by. :( :( :(
