I'm going to have to deal with my physical limitations. A light bulb totally went off over my head when I read on another runner's blog that you can either do prehab or rehab. I have had several over-use injuries over the years (Metatarsalgia, Achilles Tendinitis, Patellofemoral pain syndrome, IT band tightness). I could wait until my running aggravates each one of these conditions, or I can can accept that I need to work on the muscle weakness and tightness issues preemptively and perhaps even get rid of the problems. So I have been doing my rehab exercises in the morning after I walk or run and it seems to be working. I've done C25K week 1 day 2 and my feet feel fine. I was a bit worried after day 1 when my foot was a tad tender, but foam rolling my very tight calf muscles seems to have done the trick.
Bodies are complicated!
