My foot hurt the rest of the day and night. It wasn't too bad Saturday so I did my run. Sunday was a bit better. Monday so - so Tuesday worse. Wednesday worse. Figured better safe then sorry. Doctor says does it hurt more here, here or here.
Turns out I strained a ligament in my foot. Prediction minimum two weeks off running. How the freak do you strain a ligament just trying on high heels! How much do my feet hate heels!
I guess no indication of stress fracture is good news but ligaments can be slow to heal too.
With the last 2 long runs for ORW this week and next I am more then likely out. He did say I may luck out and heal in a week but he doubts it. His best guess was 2 weeks, no running, as little walking as possible, stay off it, ice, etc. and then if (and only if) no pain when walking to try 1 - 2K running. If that goes ok try a bit longer the next day and then slowly build over a week or two so ... ORW does not look good. However if it does heal in 2 weeks NY is probably still good so I will focus on that.Have to go get my bike out and get it to the shop for a tune up. He said I should be able to bike. That might help.
Never trying on heels again!
I don't have the heels hate me problem, rather 'flats hate me', so I can understand the shoe&foot pain.
