After 3 weeks of burning pain in the back of my heel when I run, I went to the doctor today.
He took x-rays which he won’t know the results of until Monday. He scheduled an ultrasound for next Friday.
In the meantime, he prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs 2x a day, ice, heel lifts for my sneakers. He said to try running to see if the heel lifts help& if they do and there are no tears or bone spurs, I may need arch supports to use when I run.
He says it’s not PF which is easy to treat but maybe Achilles strain or heel spurs. The treatment for that would be PT and no running!
So…………………. I may be walking Half Marathon #3 but I hope to be running in Half Marathon #4 (Nov 6 in LA)!!!!!!!!
This weekend, I will be crying having fun
playing mah jongg by the Schroon River
Hanging out on Lake George with my hubby
Happy Running! How do you stay positive when injured??
My First 5K and More... 
I have a heel spur and it hasn’t been a big deal. Hope you get good news.

Do the Komen Race in Vermon!! I am going to do that one. You could meet CQL and support her! It is a truly awesome race. Otherwise I would do Silks and Satins but I want to go for Christa.
