burning leg nerve pain yesterday at work all day--- sciatica???  on and off this morning.  then chiropractic appt.  ultrasound and stretch machine to back.  ultrasound to my house for home therapy.  one treatment so far.  could walk on it after that without pain so thought i would be stupid and try running on it.  held up pain free for first 3/4 mile then it just got tighter and tighter and my ankle, forefoot and plantar region just rebelled.  spasms and nerve pain.  weak ankle???  so very weird.  AP no garmin cause I didin't want to know pace until the end.  Just ran a loop around my house that was a bit over 40 minutes (42:22) and course tooled it to be right on with 5 miles so 8:28 pace.  what next??? acupuncture???  CAST so I don't ever run on it for an entire month or two???  if that were the case we would have to also get rid of the scissors in our house.  I am so impatient.  this has progressed into a greater issue-- not just PF.  I think I may need hypnosis to tell myself what it used to feel like when I walked or ran on my right foot.  I am soooo guarded it is ricocheting all over my left let up to my back.

Allie and Rachelle-- NEW recovery plans in place and I need everyone's HELP!! so plan on being my conscience for me and write frequent uplifting emails and others to make me feel guilty if I even think to go off the plan. I CAN'T RUN and I WILL NOT RUN for 4-6 weeks. IT HAS to HAPPEN.
