Shoe Update
So apparently I have this between my 4th and 5th metatarsals on the left foot which means no running for a week. Bum out? Yes. But, the doctor said I’m lucky I came in early because had I been stubborn (me??) and kept running it would have been a lot worse. But what’s worse than not running… she said no yoga either! I get to swim, so that’s what I’ll be doing for a little bit.
Sometimes I like these moments when the body says, “stop.” I love the re-building, the re-focus and the rest that it forces me to take. I also get to purchase lots of new running shoes that fit me correctly so we avoid this problem in the future!
14 marathons in and I’m still learning.
