Life — 19 November 2010
Friday’s Confession … I’m a DUMB ASS. I’m injured and in denial. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and for some strange reason I continue to run and play tennis like it doesn’t hurt. I just got back from an 8 mile run and it does hurt – bad.
Now would be the time for someone to kick me in the ass butt. Oh, no really, feel free to do so in the comments.
I know better. I need to follow the doctor’s instructions, once I find them, and probably slow down over the holidays which I will do AFTER I run my third half marathon on Thanksgiving. *insert shaking head here*
Am I the only dumb ass one in denial? I promise to do better as I know I will pay for it later. Please hold me to the fire.

*forming fingers for a good church pinch* Stop it. You're only going to make it worse.

Don't play with that or you'll permanently end your running days. I had that problem in BOTH feet about a year ago. I got orthopedics but it was too late at that point so had to stop running for a while. Take the time to heal and before you know it you'll be running things again. In the meantime, go to a gym, do some cross training; maybe swimming and biking to get ready for a triathlon.

I am in dumb ass denial for other reasons I am battling. Still though, you need an ass whoopin' if you don't let yourself heal. Hey, you said feel free to kick some ass right? Teehee

You are not the only dumb ass out there…I, like you, should take it easy but I am not listening to anyone and keep running..during the runs I feel fine (hmm hmm) but after oh that is when I feel like an idiot!!!!

Thanks, Ladies! You are all correct – even The Broke Socialite who wants to pinch me. LOL! I really will take it easy, you guys do the same!

I can be of no help. This summer my doc diagnosed me with Plantar Fasciitis. And aside from not being able to pronounce it, I ignored it because I was determined to walk at least 3 miles a day. Needless to say, I made it worse and wouldn't wear my foot brace. Now, I'm not walking 3 miles a day anymore and I still have regular pains in my foot.

Hrm. That tightness in my lower back and between my hip and knee isn't magically going away. I keep thinking "one more run can't do it much harm…." but it's not helping. I'm hard-headed too. I'm also short on time and feel like taking that little extra time to have it looked at (on top of the time I spend running) will spring a self-inflicted guilt trip. I'll have to do something right after Thanksgiving.

Take care of it! I let my plantar fasicitis go untreated and I ended up getting a heel spur! I would have treated myself better, but because I was a new runner, I thought the reason my foot hurt was because I suck at running!!
