depression hurts. (but not as bad as plantar fasciitis).

Posted by katymoe on August 26th, 2009

as you’ve noticed i’ve been on a little posting/blogging hiatus.  it’s hard for me to write about things that aren’t entertaining, inspiring, or hilarious….so i don’t.  it’s like the ol’ saying, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.   that’s how i feel about blogging.

so as you know i hurt my toe.  after that healed it was all marathon training, all the time.  NIKE women’s marathon was going to be my “big race” of 2009 and keep me on track to do one marathon a year for the past four years.  after a few weeks of struggling through my 7-8 mile long-runs, i really started to feel “it” coming back.  “it” being that LOVE for running i have.  that grinning from ear to ear for the whole hour and a half that i’m pounding the pavement. that feeling that i wish my long run were longer….that i could stay out running all day….that i was a professional ultra marathon runner…….eeeerrchk (the sound of screeching brakes, in case you couldn’t tell).

so, about the time that “it” (see above) was coming back, my little left foot (yep, same foot as the toe injury) started hurting.  i started icing, stretching, everything-ing your supposed to do-ing when your foot hurts. i kept running though, hoping the other preventative measures would fix my little problem.  they didn’t.  after running on my sore foot for a couple weeks,  i decided to take a (dreaded) week off.  my dr. decided i had plantar fasciitis, and sent me to Physical Therapy (yay).

it’s been a couple weeks now, my foot still hurts.  i’ve decided to do only the half marathon at NIKE women’s marathon.  this makes me sad, but ultimately i need to be healthy for IM Coeur d’ Alene next summer.  marathon training through plantar fasciitis is not going to make me healthy.  half marathon training probably will not make me healthy either, (my PT keeps reminding me of this) but i’m doing it.  i ran three miles this week, it hurt.  my night splint should be coming this week so maybe that will fix me….

here are a couple pictures from my “week off of running road trip to seattle”

    Soooooooooo, I feel your pain. I’ve been in PT since my San Francisco half. It’s a bummer, but I hope to be back in shape for the Trail of Two Cities. Worst case, I’ll walk it : (

    Katy- I’m bummed about your foot too- in talking you never complain about it, but I know its WAAAY bumming you out- interfering with big events. I want you to know I admire you and aspire to reach your level of strength and endurance …and my favorite is when you use the hot pink tape on your foot.
    Love Katie
