Opposite world
My foot is still hurting. However, my last two runs have been better than any since this whole thing started. I ran yesterday morning and was pleasantly surprised to find that my foot didn't hurt as much as it had been. Then I ran this afternoon and the pain was even less than yesterday. What's my secret? To do the exact opposite of what common sense would say to do. I haven't taken any more days off to rest my foot. I stopped icing it. I stopped taking Ibuprofen. Maybe I should also take up smoking? Well, maybe not but I have no idea why my stubborn, and possibly stupid, approach to dealing with my injury is working. I do, however, know enough to not mess with it if it appears to be working. I'll attempt my long run on Saturday (12 miles) and see how it goes. Let's hope I'm still living in opposite world then.
