Injury

Unfortunately I recently suffered a running injury. I was training for a 1/2 marathon when it happened. My training was going really well. I was running 3 days a week (sprints, tempo runs, and long runs) and cross training on my off days. My foot started hurting after a bike ride one day. I took a couple of days off and then started running again. I must have changed my running stance enough to put some unnecessary pressure on my tendon. As my training intensified, so did the pain. My foot was swollen and obviously inflamed. I tried to continue my training. I iced my foot regularly and tried to bike in place of running. The inflammation and swelling got bad enough that I was advised to discontinue running for 6 weeks. I have since resumed running but it has been a slow process so far. I've shortened my runs to 1-2 miles and have slowed down the pace considerably. I'm frustrated and bored. This is my road to recovery. Let's see if I can make it.
