I'm so mad at myself. I somehow have ended up with TOFP that seems to be really hanging on. I had a nasty knot in my calf and for some unknown reason decided to take a run in my Bakilas. Somehow I ended up with TOFP. It was quite mild, so I cut out my long run and only ran BF. It was stupid of me because now it is quite painful and I haven't run in a week. It still hurts to walk on it and I'm wondering how long is normal for TOFP before I have to admit it's a stress fracture.
I've read everything I can find about the subject and it seems as though it should go away if I'm not running on it. I'm just so disgusted. I've been running barefoot for over a year now. And now I get the dreaded TOFP.
I've been icing it and even wearing shoes (oh how I hate shoes!) and trying to stay off it. That's no easy task! I feel like a lazy person and I'm getting crabby because I want to run.
