It sounds like I have some sort of horrible injury or affliction that makes me spend all my days in pain. This is not the case. Eight months ago, I got a stress fracture in my foot from running. For a runner this is BRUTAL. The hurting is one thing, but the absence of running is just nearly unbearable. Running serves many purposes for me. It keeps me fit, it makes me feel strong and successful, and it gives me time to turn my brain off and just, well, run. All that being said, my foot has hurt every day for 8 months, some days more, some days less. I’ve been adding running back into my workouts VERY slowly. The day after my very short runs, my ankle is always very sore. Yesterday, I ran about 3 miles (not far) and today my foot did NOT HURT!!!! Glory, glory hallelujah! I know this is not interesting to a single person, but it is just enormous for me. So, yep, the best thing about today was not having a sore foot. Did I mention that my hamstrings, quads, and back are sore? Running sucks! ;)
