Awwwww Man

As some may have noticed, my running has come to a bitter stand still this past week.

I felt really good on Monday and decided to head out on Wednesday. I barely got to the end of my drive way when I felt a twinge in my left foot.

Damn.

I decided not to risk even trying, since I had come pretty far quick and didn't want to injure myself if I had indeed done something.

I have been working out on our Wii Fit and the top left hand side of my left foot is VERY SORE.

I think I might have a stress fracture.

Damn Damn.

Now money being what it is, I don't want to go to a sports clinic. Just don't have the available funds right now. So I guess I could go to emergency. But it really isn't an emergency. Don't get me wrong. My foot hurts all the time. But it is more nagging than painful. And it only hurts after I exercise. Or walk. Or run.

Damn Damn Damn

Do we have clinics in the GTA that also do x-rays? And when on earth would I find the time to go and get it done. And the last place I want to be right now is anywhere NEAR an emergency room (H1N1 anyone?).

Now I wait and see what happens. I just don't know what the answer is?

DAMN!

Oak Ridges Medical does X-rays on site. GO GO GO! They have good hours too, til 8 during the week I think. Most of the doctors are great. Just wear a mask or something. :)

If it's not a constant, sharp pain, I think it's highly unlikely to be a stress fracture. I'm no professional, nor have I had one, but they say "You will KNOW if you have a stress fracture." Then again, never hurts to get it checked out. You need to get your shoes!

Get to the clinic and good luck!!! Keep me posted.
