    Broken Toe? (Gross picture warning)

    Thanks! It is looking and feeling much better today. Crazy how much you realize you use something when you can't use it! I love the Mustang in your picture by the way- I have a '79 Trans Am in almost the same exact shade of blue!

    Broken Toe? (Gross picture warning)

    Thanks guys, as bad as it sounds the comments are making me a lot more optimistic! And trust me, the pictures are WAY worse, especially with the flash on. I just cleaned it again and added some pictures. I am feeling way better since getting rid of the fluid this morning. I am walking around...

    Broken Toe? (Gross picture warning)

    Thanks! I hadn't cleaned it well the night of the race, just soaped it up in the shower and got it bed, because it just looked like a minor blister. In hindsight I should have at least used neosporin considering the muck I was crawling in all day. I was pretty meticulous today after seeing the...

    Broken Toe? (Gross picture warning)

    Oh, and I also just saw something about "buddy taping". Is this something I should be doing for the toe? and if so, should I be buddy taping the 3rd, 4th, and 5th toe since I don't know what the 4th is doing? Or just the 4th and 5th?

    Broken Toe? (Gross picture warning)

    Hey guys- heads-up that there are some gross toe pictures in here :) -also, sorry because I didn't know how to hide them so you had to click them to enlarge. Finally, my toenails aren't usually yellow, I just ran a 15k mud run so it is hard to get that stuff out lol So I have been doing great...

    LONG Story- Plantar Fasciitis problem?

    This is the part that always confuses me. If you aren't "lifting" what is the correct term? Propelling? If you aren't supposed to PUSH off the toes or LIFT the feet, wouldn't you just be dragging your feet across the ground? Also, in the previous video-it seems to somewhat contradict the one...

    LONG Story- Plantar Fasciitis problem?

    So I think I may have had somewhat of a "breakthrough" in my form yesterday. Since my 11 mile race I have been taking it easy, keeping things below 5 miles while I try to re-evaluate what I am doing wrong. I have been all over The Gait Guys articles and videos/podcasts, and YouTube and other...

    LONG Story- Plantar Fasciitis problem?

    Thank you for the link to your post! I think my situation is similar- I know that I am doing something different with my feet, but I have no clue what, or which one is "right". Like you I was hoping these would go away on their own. I am glad it worked out for you! I plan to make an appointment...

    LONG Story- Plantar Fasciitis problem?

    Touché! I guess I have bigger problems than bunions :( Thanks TJ! Looks like there is one about 1.5 hours away. I will have to consider paying him a visit! I have tried a few times. My feet just won't seem to man up. I can't make it very far before they start to hurt- the skin that is, just...

    LONG Story- Plantar Fasciitis problem?

    migangelo- I signed up for the marathon because logically it seemed like the next step. I have done everything in between, just not the full 26.2. I wanted a goal to focus on at the end of the year to keep me running throughout the spring/summer. I know I can cover the distance, I could...

    Foot irritation- Beginning of Plantar Fasciitis?

    Thanks! I definitely don't know that it is a back issue. I still see the chiro, but instead of weekly visits I am pushed out to about 1 a month now since my correction has been holding on its own. I am not sure if perhaps the muscles are still getting used to the symmetry and are perhaps still...
