On Sunday I ran a 5 mile race & felt fine. After the awards part of the race, I went to get up from sitting on the ground & couldn't hardly walk on my right foot. The arch of my foot almost feels like it's badly bruised, but there is no discoloring.
I didn't run Monday at all. Tuesday I did some interval training at a track. (3 miles total) It did bother me some, but mostly after running it really hurts to walk on it. I tried to keep it elevated most of the rest of the day (which is hard to do.) This morning I got up to run my scheduled 5 mile run and only did 2 miles as it hurts.
I have been training for a 1/2 marathon and I'm in week 8 (of the beginner program listed on this website) So far I've been able to complete most everything with no major aches or pains. This is my first discomfort/injury. I have also recently purchased new running shoes but they are the same as my previous ones & I have only worn them 1 or 2 times a week, alternating them with my existing ones. I was wearing my old ones during Sunday's race.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what this might be?
HELP!
