"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
As I was running today, after about 16K running on asphalt and partly concrete, I started having shooting pains in my R-foot. Just before the heel, where the arch starts. Really bad pains. Now this is a new thing. It would be OK for 400 meters or so, then bam, this pain again. Here's the weird thing. I turned on to a path with crushed shells. The pains kept coming and going despite the softer surface. You know how little bits get into your shoe? So at the end of the path I stopped to get the bits of shell out of my shoes. I sat on a bench, took my shoes of, made sure no bits we're stuck to my socks, put my shoes back on and ..... no more foot pain. I continued running for another 14K or so without any pain! Anyone have an explanation?
