'Pushing through the pain' doesn't mean 'ignoring the red flags.'
. I've run nine half-marathons and my feet usually hurt for a few days afterwards. I take my mandated two weeks off from running and things are usually fine.
Key word: usually. When I toed the starting line in November 2019, I'd been dealing with on-and-off foot pain for a few months, nothing that had kept me from training or running. But by the time I finished that 13.1, my foot was aching, top to bottom, side to side. I took some extra time off, got a new pair of running shoes, cut back on my non-running workouts. The Monday before Thanksgiving, I tied on my new shoes and ran seven miles. It felt great.
My foot started hurting during almost any physical activity, including walking, strength workouts, and even swimming laps. I didn't even think about running, because I could barely walk a mile without my foot twinging with pain. As the weeks passed and my foot still didn't get better, the dread started to mount. I had one more half-marathon coming up, right before Christmas in my hometown.; it was the first half-marathon I'd ever done.
. I'd never missed a year. And, more broadly, I'd never signed up for a race I didn't run. I finally had to admit that this would be the first.On race day, I waited at the finish line with my mom. We parked up on a cliff with a gorgeous view of the ocean, but instead of going out to enjoy the panorama, I huddled in the cold front seat catching up on work. It was productive, but it was also punishment. I couldn't run , so I didn't deserve to have fun.
