Well, it's been a bit crazy to say the least. Last week I went for a quick run and felt like my tape job was to tight and it was cutting into me. I took it off as soon as I got home and found out that it was a blister not the tape cutting into my foot. The problem is that I found out after I pulled my skin off my foot, about the size of a 50 cent piece. Needless to say it took a while to heal. I headed off to work this morning temps about 40 degrees and no wind. Perfect running weather for this time of year, or for that matter anytime of the year. after 5 miles my tendon started to hurt again. I finished off the run and had a hard time walking the rest of the day. I got home and realized it had swelled up and very tender to the touch. I called the doc and decided to try some orthotics. The tape seemed to work for a brief period of time but not what I would like. I have thought that orthotics were for individuals with low to flat arches. Mine are med to high so I can't figure out what the real issue is. Maybe my arch is just collapsing and just can't handle anything stressfull now.

Ran just three miles this morning before work. Nice morning.... 40's and just a slight breeze. Pain free run for the most part. I can sure tell that it is on the brink of swelling and hurting though. Went to the doc yesterday for orthotic fitting. We will see how that goes in about a week and a half. Hopefully it will help!

Easy miles this evening with temps at 75 degrees and no wind. Just a dull ache the last mile. Had my son on the bike and Hanna with me. I have been trying the KT Tape this past week. Its about the same as when the podiatrist wrapped my arch. The one thing about the KT Tape.... it looks cooler.

Got up earlier than I wanted. Took adevantage and grabbed Hanna and headed out the door for a quick run. Recovered about 12 hours from last night so I was curious how my ankle would respond. It was about the same. After three miles it started to ache but didn't get any worse so ran another mile for an even 4. These are pretty small steps but so far so good. I will get the orthotics in about a week so we will see how that goes.
