Yesterday I self diagnosed my post 1/2 marathon foot pain as Peroneal Tendonitis. It is supposedly a result of acute or chronic overloading of one or both of the peroneal tendons. Treatment: hard soled shoes with a slight heel lift and RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation).
The only pair of hard soled shoes that I have without a heel are my brown boots. My choices of what to wear with these boots are slim unless I’m wearing jeans. Like my mom always use to say, you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
On another note, I’m currently retaining about 9 lbs of fluid in my body. I almost cried when I stepped on the scale today. But then I realized that is pretty impossible to gain 9 lbs in 3 days without eating an entire sheet cake and 10 Dominoes pizzas. Needless to say, if the fluid doesn’t come out of my muscles in the next 3 days, I’m going on fluid reduction detox to get rid of it. And if I see a 2 on that scale, I will cry tomorrow! I can even feel it in my face; I’m puffy everywhere. Sometimes I really hate my body.
Then again, I have nobody to blame but myself after my salt bomb “Asian” dinner extravaganza.
Asian meatballs, Asian Slaw and Soba Noodle Salad.
Sweater: Sutton Studio Cashmere (Bloomingdale’s 2004)
Skirt- Brooks Brothers (2000) last seen here
Boots- Nicole (DSW 2007)
Jewerly- Talbots (2009)
Belt- Banana Republic (2008)
I retain a lot of water after physical exertion. When we went to Disney World my rings didn’t fit and I had cankles for days, and it was not hot there, just the miles and miles (over 45, I wore a pedometer) of walking over 4 days. It usually comes off within a week.
ugh – sorry about the puffy bloat. I like your outfit today. That belt is fabulous!
Your poor feet!! Those boots are cute though–they don’t look like “foot pain” shoes 🙂 And that salt-bomb meal looks delicious!
What fantastic boots! Hopefully your foot heals soon, because foot pain is the WORST.
Sorry about the foot and the bloat. But you do look great.
Beautiful. Simply gorgeous.
I adore this simply classy look on you.
I cannot pull off those flats boots. Too short, too stubby and it’s too damn not here .)
