Overdid the Thursday workout.

Ran 8.26 miles in 1:04:36 yesterday. Felt plantar fasciitis-like pain in front of my heel. After walking down two flights of stairs, I felt even more generalized pain in the ankle and heel areas.

Today, I’ve been using biofreeze, ibuprofen, ice, and a ankle support. My ankle occasionally pops, and everything magically feels better briefly.

Sometimes I feel okay walking around. Sometimes, I feel like I’m dragging my foot sideways to avoid the pain. Looks like legs are going to get a lot more recovery time before starting back on any training programs.

    Aww…no, I’m sorry. Sounds like your foot and my knee are in kahootz. Hope this is a very short-lived injury issue.
