Rest

After tomorrow, it'll be a week since my last run. My foot is not feeling great. When I put my weight on my left foot, it hurts. Hal diagnosed me with a stress fracture over the phone, but I know that I need to really find out what's going on. And on top of that, almost everyone has urged me to go and see my real podiatrist to get a "real diagnosis" and possible an x-ray. So tomorrow morning I'm going back to the podiatrist to see what's actually going on.

It'll be nice to find out what is happening and get some direction on what I should be doing versus what I think I should be doing based on what my friends at Wikipedia tell me. :)

I'm trying to not get too disappointed. I know there's a few lessons to learn here (don't increase your mileage more than 10% for starters), but I'm still feeling bummed out.

At least in a few hours I'll know more of what's going on. In the meantime, it's more time in the boot, more arnica, more rest and more anti-inflammatory meds.
