Running - easy 40:00 [1]
shoes: Inov-8 Road-X 233 Sept 2013
so, about my left foot... since the ground got all frozen about a week ago, it's been quite tough for feet to run on tracks, which are now both hard and uneven. im often getting some tightness in the ligaments under my foot (as you do) and had been stretching it out. earlier last week i started being aware of my left foot quite a bit first thing on a morning and needing to stretch it a bit more. then on Saturdays hellish Lunsen intervals i felt it for the first time in training. It was sore after and when i did the usual stretching with it later i noticed a big lump on the bone on the inside on the foot, above the arch. where tib. post. joins on. no much time to think about it then and training yesterday fine in the forest, feeling it only on the last 400m on the track. but still sore after, lump still there, and i was scared i might have stressed fractured the navicular. but after further prodding and looking up on the internet that's thankfully not looking likely, it feels much more like just a plantar problem or arch problem (maybe arch collapse) but why the lump though?!
this week is an easier week anyway, i have visiting relatives who would like to go shopping and eat cake. quite a short run this morning, needed to run an errand in town so ran down there. typical plantar fasciitis feeling just on the inside bottom of the heel but nothing more. will keep stretching and doing arch exercises (though i cant seem to claw up my left big toe either...)
