I’ve been doing a google search on this foot problem i’ve been having and have come up with dozens of possible causes. My weekly long run is up to 8 miles and every week, the morning after my longest run, the ball of my right foot is swollen…to the point where it’s painful to walk. Any suggestions as to what that could be? Are there any runners out there who have had a similar problem? I’m at a loss right now and the only suggestions I get from family members is quit running!

Today I did 20 minutes of HIIT cardio in the early morning. I’m in disbelief that that’s all is required in this program. I’m used to doing 30-60 mins. Perhaps I should do more on the next cardio day? Hmmm…So far so good. I’m pretty sore from yesterdays workout and feeling great! I’m going to be working on getting more water in today and planning tomorrows lower body workout.

I’ve decided to begin the Body for Life program today. I’m pretty stubborn when it comes to thinking that i’ve got everything figured out but i’ve gotten to the point where i’m ready to admit…maybe I don’t lol. I’ve been on sooo many different diets and regimes it’s terrible. I was planning to begin this program in secret and only reveal what plan I was following after I have some results to show, but then I thought to myself, announcing what my intentions are will keep me accountable. If no one knows you’re trying, no one can know that you failed…but at the same time, that makes it a whole lot easier to give up on yourself. Sooo here goes.
