Notes

So I have been having pain in my left foot for the last several days. Right near the end of the 2nd metatarsal(?). I have been pushing the mileage and still doing quite a bit of barefoot running – 7 to 10 miles per week, total of about 28 per week. Now I have this pain. I went to the doctor, described the pain, found out that stress fractures usually don’t show up on x-rays, but they took them anyways, and then paid $20 dollars. I found out that I need to ice and use Motrin for a week, and see what is like in week. It was not what I would call the most productive hour of my life. I guess I will follow the doctors orders and see if the pain goes away. Oh, and by the way, NO RUNNING in the next week, which is the worst part of it.
