After 10 hours of standing and walking in flip flops at Lagoon yesterday and the three 12 hour shifts in a row I mistakingly said I would meet Kim, Jane and Kerri at 6am. Getting home at 1130 PM wiped out I was so wishing I texted. I don't so I had to show. My left foot (plantar fascitis I would say, never had this before but its bad, especially on downhills) acted up the entire run. I was dehydrated so that played a roll. Eating oreos and wheat thins for lunch and junk food for dinner just isn't going to do me any good. So I took it easy today on a tough trail run up 1100 north above the canal. I stayed behind the gals limping as the miles wore on and when it was time for downhill my left foot was clopping loudly and my right was so quiet. What is that about? I couldn't get it to be quiet and it hurt like the dickens. I couldn't lift it well without more pain. Icing it now and will all day. Just couldn't go fast. My left hip and lowerback and knee seem to be linked to it. The foot pain is the worst however. Adjustment time. AP 8:43 for 12 hilly miles.

When I had plantar fascitis I noticed the same thing--loud foot and quiet foot. I hope it calms down quick because PF is a real pain in the bum.

What a trooper! Take care of that PF!

wow...amazed you finished the run feeling the way you did! One tough lady!

When I go to Lagoon, I swear recovery is almost as bad as a speedy 1/2!! Legs are dead for days. I can't imagine adding all your shifts on top of that. Nice work lady! Take care and recover quickly!

Rad thanks, you make me feel so much better. I thought I was supposed to spring with action this morning and still I don't have a big letter "S" for superwoman on me....in the next life.

From JulieC on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 17:05:54 from 207.224.203.17

April, why do you think that is? I am trying to come up with a medical reason for the cloppiness. Is the cloppiness the cause or the reaction, I know not?

From RAD on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 17:08:32 from 67.172.229.125

Julie, they have some cute 'S' shirts in the girl's dept at Wal-Mart right now :) So, you don't have to wait for the next life - you can be Superwoman NOW!! :)

I have never noticed the "cloppiness" but I always have music on so maybe that is why! I am telling you, wearing flip-flops all day does a number on the feet!! Get it fixed QUICK!!! Go buy a 20 oz Coke (or diet Coke) and drink it all, then fill the bottle with water and freeze it. Use that to roll your foot on, over the grooves at the bottom. And stretch the arches (calf stretches do the trick) but not TOO much!!! Lastly, sit on your behind the rest of the day and refuse to move!!!

Way to last through that run, WOW!

When the plantar fascitis was gone, so was the cloppiness--at least for me. So...I think, maybe, the cloppiness is a result of the PF--taping to run fixes it, mostly.

From JulieC on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 18:18:51 from 207.224.207.10

I will try the taping for my "race" Saturday.

From Kelli on Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 19:36:07 from 71.219.102.155

Oh yeah, KT tape works miracles!!!
