I was diagnosed with peroneal tendonitis.
To say that relief washed over me with this diagnosis would be an understatement. So what's next? Well, I'm in this snazzy brace for the next 6 weeks.
I'm also jumping right into physical therapy with my favorite PT. I see my doctor again in November, and I just can't wait to run again. My doctor's exact words were "we just want to get you back to normal." Thank you, doc!
So in the mean time, I'm going to be strengthening both my left and right foot because I'm naturally loose jointed and don't want this to be an issue with either of my feet again. I'll also need to wear a brace, potentially on both ankles, when I run, but I'd rather that than no running at all.
He also thinks that I didn't have a stress reaction at all, especially after yesterday's x-rays. So, my gut was right when I was in pain last week and knew I shouldn't be still having not run since August 18th.
Happy Friday friends! Good luck to anyone running MCM this weekend!

I hope your foot gets better soon :(
i was complaining about my shin splints but dang! at least the cast is getting smaller :)
Ugh man. And here I was simply wanting a foot massage!
well that's progress! good luck girl! hope you get back to running soon :)
Glad you are getting this figured out, girl!
Goodness, girly. Well hopefully therapy will help strengthen your muscles and ankle. I want to get back in to running, but can't seem to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning to run. I even went to bed with my sports bra and running shorts on, set my alarm, but when it went off I snoozed… I'm such a slacker. Where do you find the motivation to keep running??
Good luck with therapy! xo
Yay for the boot coming off! I hope everything gets taken care of quickly! Maybe switching to a new PT will help.
Glad you got a second opinion! And strengthen seems like a super good idea - because who needs injuries?
Thank goodness the boots gone though
What a relief to be on the right track. And no boot...whoohoo! Have a great weekend Amanda!
It can only go up from here! Glad the boot is off!
You will get over this soon enough and will only be that much stronger! I cannot wait to see you crush some future races, girl!
I hope you get better soon!! It's good your doing PT - I bet that will definitely speed things up. Does the DR have a guess as to when you'll be able to run again? 6 wks?
glad they figured it out. Thinking about you!
Aw Amanda :( Geez I feel shitastic that I have known none of this. Ugh, I'm so sorry!
In honor of you...I think I may just have to kill myself and run. Because I take that for granted way too often.
Praying for you sweet girl and I just know they will fix you right up and you will be back to normal before you know it!
