Metatarsal Bursitis

OK - well, that's what I have developed from the stupid injury to the bottom of my foot that could have been completely avoided if I had only worn heavier duty trail shoes (with a rock plate). Ugh... Anyway, did use the elliptical a lot this week - maybe 19 miles of equivalence, but that also disturbs the bursa and my foot is swollen and hurts the next day.

I have over a week off come Christmas and I really wanted to do a lot of trail running, maybe even a trail 1/2 race. So, as much as I hate this, I am going to only do weight training and swimming (if I can bear that) this week. Even biking puts a lot of stress and weight on the ball of my foot.

So, the stats for the week are:
Run: 18.7 mi, 3:16 hrs (entirely on elliptical)
Walk: 3 mi, 1:00 hr
Bodyweight: 3x2

December Stats:
28.75 miles running, 4:52 hrs
36.25 miles moving, 6:27 hrs
