Spin the wheel – Tendinitis or stess fracture?

Today I had my appointment at the Sports Medicine Clinic.  I’ve had two treatments at Metrocrest Sports Medicine, and both times it was a good experience. They quickly got me back to my exam room, and interviewed me; asking what was hurting and how it happened.  Truth is, I have no real idea what did this too my foot. I was a little embarrassed because well when you get hurt, unless you get knocked out, you know what it is that caused it.   Maybe I pushed it too far by going a full 10 mile run.  My mileage has been increasing quicker than the plan, but I didn’t feel as if I was over-extending myself, in order to go this distance.  I paid attention to my body, and I seriously felt zero pain on Saturday’s run.  To be honest it was like Zen feeling while out there. 

Could it have been the sprint I had to do to get back out to the Jeep, from the restaurant, to retrieve my forgotten camera bag, before the skies opened up?  Maybe.  I was wearing some Sketchers work shoes, with an orthotic in them, that pushes my foot way out of the depth of the shoe.  Maybe that free movement with the sprinting did it?  No idea.

Bodybugg Stats Catchup!

Well I’ve been bad about this!  Here are my Bodybugg Stats from 7/1/2010 – 7/6/2010!   I actually had a surplus day, but it’s the first in a long time, and it rarely happens.  I’m not stressed about it.

Bodybugg Stats 7/1/10

Bodybugg Stats 7/2/10

Bodybugg Stats 7/3/10

Burned a TON of calories on Saturday, and got to eat a lot more so to not be in too much of a deficit.  Funny thing is, I really didn’t think I ate that many calories!

Bodybugg Stats 7/4/10

Surplus day!!!  Not too bad actually.

Bodybugg Stats 7/5/10

Bodybugg Stats 7/6/10

Sunday is when my foot problems began to surface, so not much calorie burning activity going on for now.  I should be doing something as soon as the doc gives me the okay.  Maybe he will at least let me ride my bike until I can run again!
