Went to la Clinique St. George in Nice to their emergency room this morning. The foot actually felt a little better. Had an X-ray which showed mild arthritic changes, but no evidence of a stress fracture. A normal X-ray doesn't always rule out a stress fracture, but it has been over 2 weeks, and usually some callus is evident at that time if there is a stress fracture. They wrapped my foot in an ace bandage and gave me some pain pills. I think I will just try to limit weight bearing for a week or so, keep on icing it and hopefully whatever the problem is, presumably a soft tissue injury, such as a ligament strain or tendinits, will get better. If still not better in a couple of weeks, will go back and see someone about it, but I am optimistic that it will resolve on its own.

I'm a little bummed because I had to miss an O course today. Hopefully my foot will be better in 2 weeks, because we are planning on going to Aix for a 3 day weekend for an O course on Sunday.

Right foot is hurting more and more. Tried to go out for a short walk and after 100 meters, turned around and came back to the apt. Drove Jill to Beaulieu for her haircut, and I walked a few blocks to buy some eggs. Very uncomfortable coming back. I'm worried I may have a stress fracture, since it seems to be getting worse. Will to to an urgent care center tomorrow.

Walked to Beaulieu and back to buy some eggs. Right foot really bothering me. I won't run fro at least 3 days so hopefully I can do the O course on Sunday. May have to walk it. Can't quite figure out what the problem is.

Out and back along the beach with jog walk intervals. Bottom of right foot still uncomfortable. I hope it just the ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia getting used to not having the insert, and not developing plantar fascitis.

Right foot uncomfortable, particularly when pushing off. Bottom of foot from big toe obliquely laterally to base of 5MT hurts.
