First, let us travel back in time to Thursday February 26th. I was playing church ball for the ward and sprinting back on defense my hamstring went "twang!" inside my leg. I ended up hopping around the rest of the game because we didn't have any subs for me to get out of there. That night and Friday night I had ice on the back of my leg trying to help it heal and to ease the pain. I went to rugby that weekend and played at most ten minutes because running really was not an option.
Moving on to this week I had to try and prepare for Saturday morning's triathlon. So Monday through Wednesday i tried to work up some endurance in my leg so that I wouldn't die in the middle of the run. Thursday and Friday I rested and didn't do any workouts so I could be rested and fresh for the three mile run, ten mile bike, and 1/4 mile swim on Saturday morning. I was planning on buying some decent running shoes, but we never got around to it because of our busy schedules. So I ran in my basketball shoes and finished the marathon in 1:24.58. I was just happy to finish and perfectly satisfied to have done as well as I did. Anyway, for the rest of the day i was pretty tired and sore because, well, I had done a triathlon. there was a rugby game that afternoon that I didn't go to because I was so tired. that night we went to the Polynesian Club Luau and and enjoyed dinner and an awesome show.
That night, well I guess early Sunday morning, as in 5:00 am, I woke up because my left foot was killing me. I tried to ignore it but couldn't, so I got up and practically hopped over to the kitchen and took 3 Ibuprofen, then went back to bed. At about 8:15 I woke up again because of pain and couldn't go back to sleep or do anything to make it better so I got up and took 4 more pills. In case you didn't know, I really don't take many pills or go to the doctor.
This afternoon, after icing my foot all day long, the pain still hadn't gone away or even subsided. Putting any pressure on my foot, especially the heal brought searing pain up my entire leg. So Laura drove me over to the hospital, again a rare thing for me, and had my foot looked at. The doc said that I have Plantar Fasciitis, basically tendinitis in my foot.
So now to add to my array of injuries and stuff I can add a pulled hamstring and Plantar Fasciitis. Basically, my body is falling apart and now I am on the couch with ice tied to my foot with a belt.
So in conclusion, my body is falling apart piece by piece.
