Update

Some news on the foot...I decided to take a few days off from running and spinning just to see what would happen. Well, I didn't spin Friday and I didn't run Saturday. I jogged in my mom's pool a bit on Sunday and decided to try and walk a few miles with my mom and sisters on Monday. I didn't have too much pain! It has gotten better! It still hurts, but it is not excruciating...just an annoying pain! I am thinking this is due to not doing high impact exercise. Hopefully I am on the road to recovery! So, I had an appointment with Dr. Rob and we discussed the plan. He was happy to hear that it was feeling better. He also noticed a difference in how my foot, ankle and leg felt, as he was working on them. So, all positive things! As of now, my foot is sore from the bodywork and electrical stem he did on it today. I am hoping that with some Advil and ice, the pain will be long gone tomorrow! As of now, I plan not to run on Saturday with my team. I actually ran into one of my coaches at Dr. Rob's office today and she said our run on Saturday will be on a trail, which is not good for ankle/foot issues anyway, so it is ok to miss the run. I am hoping to go to a weeknight run next week and try to run a bit and hopefully I will be able to run some next Saturday as well. I am really praying that I am recovering because I am ready to get back into running without pain!!!!! This has been a very frustrating injury! I should also mention that Dr. Rob and I discussed that if the pain does not go away in the next week or two, it is time for an MRI. I am hoping we don't have to go that route! Prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated!

With Love,
Ashley
