Running without pain

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been having a bit of foot pain in the last few days. I’ve added some stretches since then, and I’ve been running with less intensity. I think I’m seeing the payoff.

Tonight, I ran three miles, and I experienced almost no foot pain, save for a brief period mid-run. At times, the pain still comes back, but it is and always has been mild. (That’s why I’m treating it as a warning sign and am moving aggressively to forestall any more serious problems.)

The best indicator I have of whether my foot is getting better is whether I wake up with pain. I’m not there yet, but I can testify that my foot is feeling better.
