Short, Little Post

I have decided to see a podiatrist.  I don't want to... but I think it's time.  My foot actually feels worse the past few days and I haven't been running in over a week.  

San Diego bloggers, do you have any recommendations?   If you know someone good, maybe I'll get lucky and the name will be on my insurance's pre-approved list.

I made it to the gym tonight, after about a week of no exercise & eating poorly.  It felt great to go work out my muscles.  It also felt great to put good, healthy food into my body today.  I'm going to get back on track with my diet.  I went grocery shopping and got lots of organic fruits and veggies.  Yay!

Well, that's all!  Short, little post... just like the title says.

Have a wonderful day & take care!

I live in CT, so I can't help you with a podiatrist. But, I had a bad experience with the first podiatrist I saw (quack), and a great experience with my current one. All podiatrists are not created equal! Be careful if your podiatrist is more interested in giving you a cortisone shot that he/she is in actually listening to your ailments. I actually found my current podiatrist by searching on yahoo and finding patient ratings of him. People loved him, so I went to him, and success!! Good luck.

Escondido on Grand Ave (near Ash), Dr Joan Meyer. She's a staple around here and I hear she's pretty good. (When my mom lived in town that's who she saw for her multiple foot problems.)

Good luck... I know the desire to "push through it and maybe it'll be ok". I've been doing that on my knee... but am finally seeing a orthopedic specialist next week. Just need to know what's going on in there and if it's ok to keep riding like I do, or if I need to be more careful with it.

Good luck and be sure it is a sports podiatrist - meaning they just won't tell you not to run for 4 months... a sports one will understand that you want to get back out there.

I don't know what insurer you have, but I'm being treated by John Fellow at the Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo. He's an orthopedist that specializes in podiatry and - important to me - non-surgical treatments.

Good luck at the doctor. Hopefully it is something minor and you can get back to feeling better soon.

Good luck with the foot. I'm currently reading how padded running shoes are destroying us. Not sure how I feel about that yet...

Hey Kiddo, I don't know of a good podiatrist who 'likes' runners, Anne's suggestion sounds promising though. Good luck!

In order to be prepared for the hardest races I am trying to make my food as rich in nutrients as possible. Still, our everyday life sometimes does not allow receiving all vitamins and minerals from the food we take. I have read the article about nutritional supplements; it stated that supplements are necessary to support your body. After some research, I've decided to try military grade nutritionals - supplements which i considered natural and safe. These products are available at amazon. Within 1 month I have already noticed the results. My tone went up, I was sleeping much better and my energy increased considerably. Now I am feeling better and stronger than ever before.

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Image
Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my b...

Goals and Plans for 2010

I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We...

Lazy Slug Award

And the Lazy Slug Award goes to... SARA JONES of Running through Life! Acceptance Speech "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I- I can't believe it! I don't know what to say except, er... um... thank you? There are just so many- so many others I'd like to thank for helping me achieve this... this... honor? First, I'd like to thank my 'right hand man'... Left Foot! I couldn't have done it without you. You've been there for me since before Right Knee Pain left me. Every time the sun comes up, there you are! Your multiple visits with me throughout the day are constant reminders that I can't get out there and run. So, I owe much of my Lazy Slug success to you. Next, I'd like to thank Sleep Les Ness . Sigh... What can I say about Mr. Ness? You usually travel with others when you come to visit. You especially like to show up with my sons when they sneak into my bed in the middle of the night. Or when they wake up early. Sometimes you even surprise ...
