Marathon Training Update

Marathon training is going and going AND without me! Now what, right? Well in October when I was training for the Houston Half Marathon I started to get foot pain. After a Dr. visit I was told I had tendonitis on my foot. I had to take some medicine and stay off it but everything would go back to normal in a short time. WELL, from them until now I still had some pain but lately it has been BAD! Just imagine stepping on either feet (now it's on both feet) and BAM you feel a sharp pain on the outside of your foot. After the pain has been around a WHOLE day then you can barely put ANY weight on it. Yes, me, a pre-k teacher not be able to stand. That's funny. I "rested" from running for a week and tried again last night.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM this morning, was TOUGH! I tried my best not to limp around at work bc I am always told, "It's your training," or "You need to not run anymore..." well that isn't very uplifting. So I push through and take the pain, oh wait I also take double the dose from my dr. which makes me EXHAUSTED come 5:30ish and then I crash bc I am SOOO tired. So I called my Dr. which is very nice but on maternity leave. GREAT, right! Then I ask when the next available appointment is open, then I laughed MAY 1ST!!!! JAJAJA! I thought it was an April Fools but NOPE I was the fool trying to see a podiatrist when 2 of the 5 are on maternity leave. Just my luck. So then I see if Ic an speak with a nurse who may feel some compassion and try to squeeze me in. Hmmmm, NOPE! but then there was hope, I could go in the next hour to downtown Houston so someone coould see me. JA! That was another April Fools bc I work at least 1 hour or more from the medical centers office. So then I think the nurse feels sorry for me and says there is an opening next Wednesday. So until then I will hobble around and hope my feet can handle it. Which then means I have to elevate and ice non-stop for a week and try to stay off my feet. Which is really funny bc we haev a fundraiser this weekend.
YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO a Spring Festival in The Woodlands, Texas. At Tamarac Park from 1-3pm. I am sure you could spot me from a mile a way, I will be limping my way around and maybe even have a wheelchair or crutches (it is THAT painful).
And remember I am still trying to raise $4500 for my first marathon in May. I hope my feet survive!
May the drama continue
