So my foot has been numb for a couple weeks now. That’s not normal right?
Rather than go to someone with a PhD and have them tell me (again) how running is bad for your joints and blah blah blah I decided to just let the people at Roadrunner Sports diagnose me. The guy said it could be a combination of my shoelaces being too tight and landing on my forefoot rather than my midfoot. So I did what he said and took a week off of running to ice and cross train and hopefully get the feeling back. And yes that is a frozen wine bag on my foot in the above picture.
So this past week was spent doing some of this:
And a little of this:
And maybe a tiny bit of sulking and temper tantruming on Saturday when my dad and Jason went out on a 10 mile run in perfect weather without me.
So tonight I’m off to run for the first time in a week and I’m pretty freaking excited about it. Wish me luck and pray to the RunGods that I can feel my toes after.
Just stumbled accross your blog and had to comment! Icing with a frozen wine bag cracked me up! I was doing that just last week, and before that it was frozen peas and carrots. Too funny!
I love it! My fiancé makes fun if me but I like that you can get up and walk around and he wine bag doesn’t slide off 🙂 gotta make do with what’s available right?
