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?

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.
