I am back from FOUR fabulous days on Lake George!!!
dinner at our marina
picnicking on the island
enjoying my first lake swim
watching the fireworks from our boat
relaxing with a good book & a view
scenic nature walks
dining at our fav waterfront restaurant
- several painful runs
Yes, I said “painful.”
I have been in denial for 3 weeks. I have been running slow and walking hoping that the pain in my heel is just in my mind.
This is the first week of my Half Marathon training! OUCH!!
Today I decided that I wouldn’t run until I saw a doctor. The decision was the easy part. I started calling podiatrists & orthopedists. It started with the first appointment for a new patient being in September. I said “Not possible. I am a runner! ” Then it was in August, then at the end of the month, then next week. I made appts with each one hoping to get an earlier one.
Finally, I got one for this Friday!!! Then of course, I had to call and cancel ALL the other appts.
So we’ll see. It doesn’t hurt now! I only hurts when I run 😦
So the worst would be that I WALK this half marathon. I can do that in 5 hours, right?
It’s too early to worry about Half Marathon #4 on Nov 6 (and non-refundable plane tix to LA)!!! My heel will heal!!!!
Happy Running!
My First 5K and More... 
I hope you get some kind of diagnosis on Friday and a course of action so your heel begins to heal.

Yes, get diagnosed and start healing. What type of person are you seeing?

Couldn’t be choosy – he’s a podiatrist. Hope he’s good.

Looks like you had a beautiful days at Lake George.
I’m happy that you could get an appointment for next Friday. And I hope it’s nothing serious and you will be back at running painfree soon.
