Broke a personal record this week...

Tuesday- 8 miles w/ 20lb weight
Wednesday- 5 miles
Friday- 12 miles w/ 25lb weight
Total: 25 miles

BEYOTCH!!

The only thing that sucks... near the 20th mile, I started to get a sharp pain starting from the bottom outside of my foot, to the ankle, and behind the ankle bump.  I could climb rocks and hills fine, but once I got onto even ground, and put pressure evenly on my foot, my foot would shoot pain.

I remembered in Anatomy, learning about the muscle and tendon that wraps around the foot, and is what turns the foot outwards, and my best guess was that I had strained that muscle.

So I slowly made it home, trying not to complain too much, and made it to the doctors the next evening, after work (retail... frick...).  The diagnosis, Peroneal Tendonitis.... just what I had thought.  So now I am in this magic boot until the pain subsides, and I have to rest from hiking. :/

Why?!  I looked it up, and others with the same problem express the same frustrations, so at least I know I am not alone.




Here are some pics from the hikes at least :)

5k coming up!

Another 5k is coming up, and I have been training and able to do more than I have ever been able to do.  I am still not a fast runner, but coming from a place where I couldn't even run a lap, I am doing well.  I can now jog 2 miles without stopping, and theoretically 2.5/3.0 miles.

I went from jogging a very slow 15:22 min/mile, to 14:30 min/mile, to 13:55 min/mile, and  finally to 13:23 today.  Slowly going down.


Nervous and Excited!!!!!
