Foot A&P review

On Thursday I ran my first 10k in 9 years. 55:03 I had a couple of goals in mind. 1 was not to walk any of it, 2 was try to pace it out at a 8:30- 9:00 minute mile. I was a bit nervous to do this and try to get as many people as I could to come along. Kerry, Alison, and Erin were champs and ran with me on a perfect day. Brought the wrong headphones so I couldn't control volume or songs on the shuffle. Besides that it was really strange that I actually enjoyed the run. I also started to feel good at about the 4 mile mark. It seemed I didn't have to work on pose. It just felt right. Bad parts: started to blister in mile 6 and 4 hours later started to have pain in what I thought was my ankle. The next day I realized it was the middle of my foot on the lateral side. My biggest fear was that it was a stress fracture. I could dorsiflex my foot with no pain and plantarflex my foot with minimal pain so I really was doubting anything muscular. It's been a while since I dug into some anatomy/physiology of the foot so had to check out what it could possibly be.

A. distal phalanx of the hallux
B. proximal phalanx of the hallux
C. distal phalanges
D. intermediate phalanges
E. proximal phalanges
F. 1st metatarsal
G. lesser metatarsals
H. medial cuneiform
I. intermediate cuneiform
J. lateral cuneiform
K. styloid process
L. cuboid
M. navicular
N. talus
O. calcaneus



According to the picture above it could of been my cuboid or my styloid process. There's a whole bunch on the net about cuboid pain but not on the styloid process. Anyways, pain got much worse the next day and I had a pretty bad limp going which made walking next to Mandie interesting. Both of us limping the same amount on the same side. Anyways did some internet research and found some things that it possibly maybe the insertion point of the peroneals.

What ever it is it was feeling much better on Sunday. Until Mandie and I walked a mile and half on it. We will see how it goes throughout the day. Also, on the sleep front it was a pretty good week I hit 6 out of 7 days going to bed before 10:30! This week I'm going to try and eat breakfast before I leave home.

A quick sum up of workouts:

M-off
T-3 rounds 400m run 15 hang cleans 75#s (traps were sore) 1on 1 off, 1on 50s off...... (1 minute on was shy of 300m)
W-30 db press 40#s, 40 wall balls, 50 box jumps, 60 up/downs (pushup less burpee), 70 russian kb swings 55#s (this was a little too much on the shoulder)
Th-10k 55:03 9:54, 8:58, 8:22, 8:13, 8:42, 9:19 (abbey let me know second mile was a little long, so 3rd mile is also a little short. I think the first mile is a little long)
F-8x1 60-90s rest deadlifts 405# (83% 1 rm needs to be heavier)
