My first run after my first marathon.  The muscles were just a little bit sore.  But my right foot is killing along the bottom outside edge.  This is a new one for me.   I am going to stretch it out for a while and see if I can get it to loosen up.  It was frustrating because other than the foot I felt pretty good.  I was thinking about running a 5k this weekend just to loosen up and have some fun.  I am not certain that is going to be such a great idea now.  I may also need to look at finding some different shoes.  I like the idea of trying some five fingers, but I am worried that they won't be that great on the canal where I do a lot of my running.

Hey Koby,

I have the very same hurt as you! I have felt great since the marathon, even my knee, except for the outside edge of my right foot! I actually went to the doc the other day for fear of a stress fracture. It's hard to see a stress fracture on an x-ray within the first few weeks but it didn't look like it was a SF. The doc said it is most likely tendonitis. Which also needs some rest for recovery. He suggested taking a few weeks off of running and do some biking or swimming or yoga. Also anti inflamitories and ice. After that if the pain is gone I can start in gently. If the pain returns when I get going again I am suppose to come back in for a follow up x-ray. Sorry, that was a long comment, but I thought I'd share my info.

How's Alicia feeling? I figure that having to rest my foot is a good way to have to rest my IT band as well. I hope she is feeling well. Good luck to both of you in your recovery. Keep me posted. I'm not checking the blog as regularly at the moment, but if you put a comment on my blog I am alerted through email.
