Saturday September 27th

The left foot has been resting now for three weeks. The foot still looks inflamed. I will start putting my foot in epstrom-water bath.  I've heard about the healing properties of magnesium sulfate and I hope it works on my foot 

There was no running and minimum walking this week. However, the foot is still in pain, especially at night, but it feels better in the mornings. 

Bicycling does not seem to hurt my foot. I did eight miles of bicycling this morning with Harim. Sophia practiced gymnastics while we rode our bikes to Tiffin and back. This girl is learning more moves and she is being improving every session.

Two weeks of rest and the foot appears to be healing. It still hurts when walking, but it feels like it is getting stronger. The bicycle has been getting more use these couple of weeks. The eight mile ride from North Liberty to Tiffin was very good. Horacio has done this trip twice while Sophia practices gymnastics. Hopefully, he will continue to make this trip while weather allows.

Hump Day

My right foot has never felt this good. Unfortunately, can't say the same about the left one. However, it is healing slowly. How I long to be without pain. Totally pain free. I have been patient this time and I am taking it very easy.  No more pounding on my feet. Just some biking and kayaking.
Unfortunately, temperatures are going down. Maybe I will start using the treadmill when my foot gets better.

It's been one week after the injury. Foot is slowly getting better. Still a little bit inflamed and it still hurts a little bit when I walk. I rode the bike for almost five miles this morning. Temperatures are getting colder and it is harder to ride the bike in cold weather.
Rode the bike from Synergy to Tiffin (four miles each way) while Sophia was practicing gymnastics.

Did no exercise. Rest, rest, rest. I am able to put a little more pressure on the foot. It still hurts, but it is getting better. Being taking ibuprofen.

Foot is slowly getting better. I can walk slowly as long as I just keep the pressure on the hill. Foot still looks inflamed. Taking ibuprofen.
Cycled on the bike for 2.73 miles around the neighborhood. 

Sunday September 7th 2014

Left foot looks very inflamed. Took a couple of ibuprofen in the morning. It is hard to walk. I can only put weight on my hill, otherwise the rest of the foot hurts.

When will I be able to walk without pain?

I was able to ride the bicycle to Trueblood Area. I did some kayaking there too. That was a total of 15 miles (two loops around the lake).

Left foot stress fracture.

Most probably a stress fracture -left foot. Went running this morning after resting for two days. Had to catch up Karen who left just a few seconds before me.  After running for about a mile and a half, the top of the foot started hurting. I tried to ignore the pain thinking it would go away, but it didn't. It got worse and worse. Had to walk because it was impossible to run. By the time I got home, the pain was so intense I could not even walk. I am wearing the air-cast hoping it helps.
