It's been a tough few months for running. For years now I've dealt with a foot injury, and it finally came to a point where running wasn't happening. I took over a month off of running until I was finally walking pain-free. I was doing exercises to strengthen my foot and core, and after a couple months it seemed like I was turning a corner.
I wasn't — at least not in the direction I wanted to. My foot started hurting when I walked again and running was fairly painful.
I see a podiatrist in a couple weeks to hopefully get some ideas on how to move forward. In the meantime, I'm still running a little — run/walking, not too long, and not on consecutive days.
Thankfully we have two other runners in our house. My older kiddo just finished up soccer and now he's doing 1/4 mile races on Sundays.
My better half just checked another state off her half marathon list by running a half marathon in Lansing, Iowa after running the TC 10 Mile the week before.

Look for a home update soon. Be well.
