5 - 25 Run

Planned to run longer, life got in the way.  Impending questions about my foot are dominating my mind.  Podiatrist appointment in a few weeks, preliminary phone call to their office say to stop running.  One doctor says stop the next says run............... There is the possibility of  4-6 weeks in a cast with steroid injections. SO do I keep running for the next month or enjoy these last few weeks.  Seems any serious run training or racing is on hold for the year, what a lousy year of running after such a good year of ultras!

I felt tired and weak on this workout, Dallas had to push me to finish.  No sleep catches up with you eventually.  Trying to bring more focus during training.  No race planned may lower my focus.  Foot is the same, Sports Med Chiropractor is referring me to a Foot Doctor, appointment late June.  Doctor number 4, nobody can figure it out.  I am going to ramp up my run training again........ damn the foot

Went back to my sports medicine chiropractor this week, he injected the knots in my foot with a magnesium/lidocaine injection.  If this does not work he is going to refer me to a Podiatrist.  So far 6 months, three doctors nobody can find a solution.  Very discouraging but I'll keep training hard and light to moderate running
