I mentioned yesterday my week ended with a bird shitting on me. Yet it wasn't my worst moment.
My cough still haunts me.....and apparently everyone at work yesterday. While doing a lot of conversion work for our new system, my hacking in front of 400 folks wasn't well taken.
I'll give them that. I'm not infectious or contagious, I just sound like a dying man.
And on Tuesday evening, my foot started to feel sore. By Wednesday, after a three mile run, it was way worse.
I immediately went to: stress fracture or shin splints. I jinxed myself the other day when I said I've never had the latter. And honestly, I don't know exactly what they're supposed to feel like.
I still don't. The pain is too low for shin splints.
It's allegedly neither of my self-diagnosis, but good old tendinitis. Old being the operative word.
The PA-C, Jackson Brown, who saw me, said I shouldn't run for at least two weeks. I heard "one". I'm sure I'll listen to my body and all, but in the meantime, I'm naproxin-ing the shit out of it.
It turned out that I couldn't this weekend anyway, due to I get to work ALL weekend. Maybe it's the pain killer, maybe it's the fact I sat for 10 hours yesterday with little to no exercise at all - but my foot, while not great, already feels better.
I get with age and activity, I'm an injury risk waiting to happen, but I'm still bummed.

Sounds like too much work, if you foot hurts, immagine what your brain must feel like.
Did he also say you were running on empty?
At least he didn’t beat you like Darryl Hannah
ouch
