I'm back running. 2 days ago. 4 weeks to the day since the fracture occurred. A 1 mile test, then a couple of very slow 3 milers.
The foot aches, not necessarily where the broken metatarsal was, but generally in that area. But, it doesn't ache any more at the end of a run as it does at the beginning. I think it probably soft tissues getting used to a new bump in the bone!
I did notice, however, that there was a little pain on pavement. So I kept to the grass.
Anyway, feels good to be back running, even if the world got a whole lot muddier in the 4 week break...
Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back, David. Yes, the surfaces are reassuringly soft off road at the moment!
