Inflamed Tendon

Well, I noticed (and have noticed for the past few weeks) that I have developed a knot of some sort on my foot. It is only painful after my long runs, so it took a while to notice. Anyway, I asked my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law (both long-time runners) on Sunday if they had ever seen anything like this. They both told me that it was an inflamed tendon. Well, Tuesday, I paid Jeff a visit at Fleet Feet who confirmed what htey said, and he fitted me for some inserts. He, like my folks, told me to take a few days off and then ease back into it. Well, as we all know, the Goat Milk is Saturday, so I just want to ease into the Goat Milk! I took Monday and Tuesday off, and did not run until Wed. night. I only did a couple of miles, but the inserts made my knee and my arch hurt. I got up this morning and got at early run in, a little over 3 miles, and again my knee was KILLING me! I will go see Jeff again this morning to see what I am doing wrong, or if this is a normal occurance until the inserts have been broke in! See you all Saturday!
