Three more shorter runs under my belt. The first two went pretty well. But last night, I started having some pain in my left foot, across the top of my big toe. The pain is worst when I lift my big toe, and I feel it with every step, particularly when I run, though also when I walk. It appears that I have either some tendonitis or a midtarsal fault (bones pinching together because of a collapsing arch).
The pain is actually stronger than anything I have felt in my shins (though not as bad as that first day I injured my hip). However, it's not really bad enough to slow my running or make me limp. At least it wasn't for the 3 miles I ran this morning.
I'm hoping that it will feel better in the morning, and that even if it doesn't, it doesn't start feeling worse as I run my scheduled 9 miles tomorrow.
As you can probably guess, I am incredibly frustrated right now. My shins feel good (relatively speaking, at least), my hip feels fine, and NOW I HAVE FOOT PAIN!
I'm four runs away from the half. Four runs, 9 days. And there's still a chance I might not get to do it.
But I'm choosing to say hopeful.
Please body.... please... just hold out a little while longer....
(I literally have tears in my eyes.)
I want this really bad.
