My foot doctor appointment was today — a great way to celebrate my birthday! — and as I suspected, the MRI didn’t show anything more than the x-rays. Ironically, it identified another issue that I’ve been having on and off since about 2009, but still nothing to worry about.
So, I still have the pain, but as I’ve repeatedly said, it’s not all that bad. In fact, I’d say that it feels marginally better in the last week or so. The doc’s advice? Give the boot another couple of weeks, just for kicks and giggles. The advice I’m going to take? My own, which includes getting back to things and not worrying about it.
There’s no fracture there that I’m going to turn into something worse. So my new plan of action is going to be to sign up for an early May 5-mile race and start training. I can always revisit this issue if the foot really starts bothering me again.
(I know, I know, but I’ve got to start doing something and have a goal again or I’m just going further down this abyss. No more foot excuses!)
