So maybe I'm a big baby

[talyen]

I had the hugest jones for a run today, and I was walking on my ankle without wrapping it all day (at church), so this evening I went for a 5-mile, slow run. And it feels pretty good. It hurts, but not "oh my gods I can barely walk" hurts, just "give me the icepack" hurts.

(Also, after two miles I have so many beta-endorphins running around in my system that I can't tell how much stuff hurts unless it's really really bad. So I had to wait until an hour after my run before I noticed an immediate need for the icepack.)

So maybe I didn't really tear anything after all, or the tarsal doesn't have any kind of crack. All would be very well if that were the case. As I think about the coming week, I am going to plan for some running.

Argh! I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself further. You must have REALLY wanted to run.

Just be careful -- what you're decsribing also strikes me as a good way to develop stress fractures.

Um, what's a stress fracture?

BTW, it hurts like the sun the days after I ran, haven't run since. But the jones is back full-blown.
