Injury Update

You may have noticed that there hasn't been mention of my running buddy lately. Gina has a bad case of plantar fasciitus (sp?). OK, she's been having some foot pain since January but she fought thru it to train for the half ironman. And she was on her way to a good birthday half marathon, but after the pride race the left foot felt REALLY BAD. So bad that she stopped her training. OK, stopped running. She is still spinning and erg-ing. And on race days she goes to the gym and puts in a workout of comparable exertion.

She finally got in to see the rundoctor.com, the dude who diagnosed my foot ache and gave me the drugs for my foot problem. Of course he prescribed the same stuff. Said it was classic P F ( i don't want to misspell it again) She has been icing religiously, taking the prescription ibuprofen and rubbing the 'clear' on her feet. And wearing the splints each night, and part of the day. She thinks it's getting better. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
