Good news!
I went to Jill my PT yesterday. She ruled out Plantar Fasciitis on my left foot. Yeah! PF can take weeks or MONTHS to clear up. Turns out I bruised the ball of my foot from my SPD cleats - I figured as much - and the remainder of the pain is from my old nemesis my sciatic nerve/tight dura. Doesn't help the pain but at least I know what I'm up against. Can you say s-t-r-e-t-c-h?
Yesterday it went up to 31C. That's PLUS 31C. I decided to use it as a "training opportunity" and did my hill repeats on the bike in the middle of the day in the blazing heat. Up and down. Up and down. A 6 minute ride up to the top of this very long hill. A 2 minute ride to the bottom. Rinse and repeat. x 5. And on the last one, the Accelerade turned in my stomach and I almost hurled. Almost. And I got sunstroke. And the start of my bike tan. And today my foot hurts like hell. And I'm off to do a track workout.
A life in training. Astonishingly exciting, isn't it?!?
