I haven’t run (or done any kind of workout for that matter) in 3 days. I kind of hate it. Sure, 3 days isn’t really a big deal, but 3 days during race week feels huge.
I want to run.
I want my foot to feel normal.
I want to dominate Philly.
I can’t. It doesn’t. We’ll see..
I don’t want to hurt myself though. The possibility of prolonging pain & the inability to run is seriously awful. So I sit and ice and roll and stretch. It makes me feel lazy, which turns into me actually being lazy. Not cool.
Game plan: I’m going to test it out this evening. We’ll see how it goes.
(plus I decided my shoes are at fault, so I bought new ones. Should I do new shoes this close to the race? probably not, but I’m going to anyway)
.
I can see this going 2 ways:
1. I feel okay & decide Philly is still a good idea. awesome.
2. Its not okay and I have to entertain the idea of not to running on Sunday. This scenario will probably involve some tears and a lot of wine. BUT it means I can still cheer on Lisa for her very first FULL. All will not be lost.
Stay tuned my friends.

Maybe the wine will dull the pain in your foot so that you can still run. Sounds like a win -win to me..
Major bummer about the foot 😦 i hope it feels good tonight and it won’t matter between now and then!! otherwise, i agree that long term injury is no worth it, esp with your goals of a race in every month next year! i’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
I hope you feel better soon! Don’t hurt yourself by running too soon!
