It was caused by walking in shoes without enough arch support. Make sure the shoes you wear from here on out (even your slippers!) are extra comfy and supportive. I made sure I didn't have a stress fracture, and then I got orthotics (1 pair for my regular shoes; Super Feet for my running shoes). You can also tape up your foot on race day but you're lucky it doesn't hurt when you run. If it's sharp pain, it could be an inflamed nerve. Otherwise, it may be tendonitis. Oh, I also iced mine 3x/day for 20-30 minutes and took 500 mg ibuprofen 3x/day. That helped immensely. You probably don't want to change your running shoes this close out but definitely try ice and ibuprofen! And stay off your feet! Good luck! Can't wait for the race report.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821164461194210117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1149873034812545072006-06-09T13:10:00.000-04:002006-06-09T13:10:00.000-04:00Good luck to all of you!
