3 mile attempt at a recovery ryun. Foot arch is a major problem, I am putting all the pressure on the outside of my foot to stay off the arch during the run. Hurts to walk on it. Iced it for 45 minutes last night stretched it best I could... Today Wednesday still hurting. Goin to schedule an appointment with a foot dr. and get either dome type of cushion / gel for shoes or asomething to stretch it at night or a cortisone shot as i can not afford to take time offf at all definitley too close to my Marathon and the trainig has been to good to miss my shot at qualifying for Boston. So hopefully I can get an ez run / ice in tonight & tomorrow night and go to Dr. Friday.

Your description of the arch pain sounds like it might be plantar fasciitis. Good idea to see the doc early.

Zack - what a bad timing for an injury :(. Your training has been going so well! It does sound like plantar fasciitis, as Chad mentioned. I would advise against running on inflamed arch until you see a Dr. You're not going to lose any fitness in 2 days, but you might aggravate your foot further or develop a secondary injury due to altering your gait (which you admitted doing). Start cross training now. Maybe Paul P. will chime in, since he had a long battle with PF, but from what I know of it, it's a very slow healing injury. You can try cortisone shot, but so close to the marathon, I don't know. But see Dr. first, and then go from there. Best of luck to you...

Zack - I second Maria's suggestion. Cross-train for a couple of days to let it heal.
