just a quick
just a quick update:
i've been doing all of your suggestions. i bought a night splint (a futuro one from cvs, about $35 i think...) and i've been stretching a lot! and it all seems to be helping! yippee! my 5k on thanksgiving may still be possible after all!
just had a great run! just a mile, but the fastest mile i've done in awhile (10:30) even with shoes! i know thats not fast, but its good for me! i felt quick and light, i think the stretching has helped (duh! ) b/c i barely felt tight at all. i'm rolling my foot on my frozen water bottle now though
when i stretch my soleus, though, it feels as if i'm stretching my achiles tendon... am i supposed to feel that?
