I was finally feeling better, so I started Week 9 with a two mile run on Valentine's day.
And then I ran 5 miles on Wednesday. The run felt great.
Thursday morning, I woke up with some pain in my left foot. As the day went on, the pain got worse. It really hurt to put pressure on my heel, and the pain wrapped around to the outer side of my foot below my ankle. I skipped my 2 mile run that evening.
On Friday, I asked my friend Joel (a physical therapist) about my foot pain. He said that it was probably an inflamed peroneal tendon. His advice was "ice, ice, and more ice". My 8 mile run on Saturday was out of the question. I rode 21 miles on the bike instead. I figured I could still get some long cardio time in and work my legs without putting much pressure on that tendon.
I'm not going to run until my foot is feeling better, so I plan to bike a lot more for now. I have 10 weeks until my half marathon, and I'm eager to get back on track with my training.
