sore foot

[via_ostiense]

Yay: I ran a half-marathon yesterday!
Boo: My right foot now hurts whenever something presses on the arch (e.g. wearing a shoe) or when I try to walk. Massaging the arch and stretching it have no discernible effect.

Question for runners: do y'all have any advice on what might be causing this pain or how I can deal with it? Most importantly, if I ignore it and run through the pain for the first 10 minutes, will it go away and let me keep running?

I don't know your level of fitness, but even at a high level of fitness, if you're in pain after a hm, I'd listen to your body and rest it. If I had seen this question at another site, I'd assume it was a troll question :o)

Arghh. I've gotten minor aches and pains while out on a run before and they usually disappear after a mile, so I was hoping that this one would, too. I haven't had to deal with a pre-existing ache, though, which is why I asked. >.<

I've now officially turned into the running-crazed person I used to stare at in disbelief when they injured themselves and kept running.
