Today I met Ny and we got the bus out to Balerno with the aim of walking from the top end of the Water of Leith walkway. Part way along the walk my arch was really burning. We took the route slow and steady with plenty of stops but it didn't really help ease the pain. We got off the route at Slateford and headed home along the canal.
I know bad days are going to happen but this close to marathon night, it does worry me slightly how much pain I'm in. I've been refusing to take painkillers for it whilst walking so I can monitor it but now I'm back home, feet up and an anti-inflamitory taken to ease it and prevent me from favouring the other foot and causing problems there.
After the marathon I'm going to spend some money and see a podiatrist about my feet but I'm too scared to go before the marathon incase they tell me not to do it!
