I'm starting to worry that this experiment isn't actually helping. I feel like my foot is much more frequently on the edge of pain. For the past two nights, I've been too exhausted to help J do the dishes (though tonight I did put in a valiant effort) largely due to my foot threatening to not support me any longer. I did run yesterday, but otherwise my days have been largely sedentary. Today I went to the beach with J and his parents, and we didn't run or go to the gym like we had planned, but yet my foot still was completely fatigued by the end of the day.
The problem is that I have a newfound love for exercise and I'm very motivated to continue to get my body in shape. I want to be in shape for the rest of my life so that I can avoid injury in the future, and having my foot hold me back from that is going to be aggravating. I do not plan on stopping the experiment, largely because I have seen so much progress with my running and because I really do enjoy it very much, but I figured that writing about the pain and discomfort I've been feeling lately was necessary.
