Last week I started having foot pain in my left foot. On Wednesday I could barely walk and was so scared it was going to end up being a stress fracture. I talked to my trainer at the gym and she said she thought it was just very tight muscles and ordered me to stay off of it, stretch, stretch, stretch, and take ibuprofen. The only thing that has seemed to help is ibuprofen, although I am continuing my stretching. I did get out there and run on Saturday because that is the one thing I look forward to all week. I love being out there with the girls and I just enjoy those long runs period. I only 10 miles (while everyone else did 14) and it killed me. My foot hurt so bad and continued to all day. I finally went to the doctor today because I needed to make sure I could run the 20 miles without any consequences. I am all free to run 20 miles and to run the marathon! I have never been so excited about running in my life! He said it was just a freak bit of tendonitis and ordered me to rehab and told me to continue what I am doing. What a relief! It seems that every time something is going to be taken away from you, you want it more than ever before! That's how I felt about the possibility of not being able to run on Saturday (not running the marathon is not an option). So I am gearing up for the longest run of my life on Saturday! Wish me luck and hope for the best!! I will be sure to report how it goes because this is going to be a big mental test as well as the physical. I am so ready for it!
Thank you to everyone for your support! I can't believe I have less than a month to go before the race. I am so excited about it because I have made awesome friends that I get to experience this with, as well as my dad who will be joining me for moral support! The countdown begins... 27 days.
