Running

I’m exhausted. I have no idea why. I passed out for an hour this afternoon b/c I could not even comprehend what I was trying to type. Luckily, my bed is perhaps 2 feet from my computer.

I ran for 30 minutes this morning (I literally had the eggs cracked and in a bowl and decided that I was procrastinating by not going running right then so I temporarily stored them in the fridge). I can run on anything flat and paved where my foot will land flat on the ground. When I tried to run next to the path on the dirt or on cambered roads I would use the side of my foot more which would hurt. The outer part of my foot is still inflamed which I knew even before I went running. It hurt this morning when I got up and I bent and prodded it. I didn’t know if that was because I stopped taking anti-inflammatories, b/c I was running around trying on sneakers last night, or b/c there is something seriously wrong with it. I decided to go running. It feels okay now although it’s obviously still a bit tender. From when this has happened before (ironically last x-mas) I feel like I can for the most part run through it (in appropriate sneakers) and it will just take a week or two for the swelling to completely subside. It just takes a while to get better and it is of course on my mind way too much. I’ll see how it feels over the next few days. (Does anyone else with bunions have any thoughts on this?)

I could use Beth’s help. I am taking a take-home nutrition final all about how foods are digested, absorbed, and metabolized. It’s hard and it’s not my friend right now. It’s my last piece of work though. I have two more classes tomorrow and then I head out after rush hour to WV-via a 6 hour stop in NJ to meet up with my family and sleep.
