WTF Foot??!!?

I want to shoot my foot. It's stupid, and hurts. It started hurting two and a half week ago. I took a week off, and it kept hurting. I ran 12 km, and it didn't hurt so much. But then, without any logical reason it went off again. Gaaaahhhh. So here I am, running once a week, and limping around the rest of the time. I'm not very happy right now.




I've bought myself a pair of Vibram Five-Finger shoes, and I can't even use them. I ran 600 meters with them last Friday (the man at Löplabbet told me with a "stern" voice to not run more than 500 meters with them until my quads are stronger), but I regretted it almost immediately, as it set off a searing pain.



I've been eating NSAIDs on and off for almost two weeks, and although it takes away the pain, my foot still feels sore and starts hurting again if I move around too much. Too bad I have to walk 8 km every time I'm at work...











The pain is located around the Adductor hallucis, but I don't know if it's muscular or something related to the tendons. I just hope it's not a fracture.





Of course I called the doctor to get an appointment. And of course I could get one...in June... Errrr, yeah right. I think I'll try next week, calling in early to see if someone's cancelled. Or I could run a lot, hoping it will make the pain serious enough to legitimate going to the ER...

Let's Take Off All Our Clothes

...because that's just so typical Norwegian. It happens every Spring. It's late April, it's sunny and warm and the trees are getting green. Oh happy day, it's Summer! Then everybody throws away their clothes, and BAM!; we've all catched a cold. At least, this happens to me every year. After the beautiful run Friday, I was rewarding myself with a day on the cliffs, barbequeing and drinking white wine in my bikini. Oh yes; I'm very smart.


It was a very nice day, though..


:3

Since it was almost a week since my last run, I went out today despite a running nose. Bad idea. It's the worst run I've had so far this year. I kept blowing my nose, and it didn't help. Not even a little.
I gave up after 4 painful kilometers and walked home. Best decision this week.

Week 10 - Wednesday

Let's just get it over with..
4 km - 25:27
Max speed: 12.1
Avg speed: 9.4 (...)

Km splits: 05:55 - 06:12 - 07:30 - 05:48
Avg: 06:21

07:30! !!! I haven't been this slow, like, EVER. Oh, the shame. I think I'm gonna drown my sorrows in a barrelful of candy. I'd rather have red wine, but the store is closing NOW, so that ain't gonna happen.



Can you see how much I enjoyed it today? Minus 100 % barely covers it


The run wasn't completely worthless; I found a new trail. Which makes it..almost worth it..
