The pain in my left foot was not caused by the mammoth hills of South Carolina (total exaggeration...lakefront running has spoiled me), it seems I have a small stress fracture. I went to a podiatrist on Wednesday and the x-ray showed the beginnings of one and the doctor (who also is a runner) said that if I weren't a runner, she'd put me in a boot cast that very moment. But I promised her I would not run 15 miles on Saturday and I got an MRI on Thursday and I haven't been running at all since last Saturday so hopefully I'll be back to pounding the pavement in no time.
My follow up after the MRI will be this week and I am thinking if I am careful, if I don't wear heels and don't push my luck, I'll be all good for the shamrock shuffle at the end of the month....
