Mike, Tug and I did our first trail run together yesterday. Tug is Mike's pit bull mix. We went up to Carkeek in NW Seattle out on the Sound.
I've been fretting about my ankle all week, cuz it still has some soreness. I'm wondering if I should get some motion-control shoes in an effort to keep the strain of the posterior tibial tendon.
I've been my homemade physical therapy: doing sets of 15 eccentric heel drops whenever I feel like it (a few times per day), holding 5 or 10 pounds in weights.
I'm eating more peanuts, hummus and olive oil...the fatty food hypothesis: fire up some inflammation to accelerate healing.
I'm taking a tendon supplement program i got mostly from an ultrarunning site:
500 mg lysine
1 g glycine
a bit of glucosamine, vitamin c, vitamin
It's a lot of pills.
I ran all my miles in shoes this week. 6 miles on monday, 7 on thursday, then the 5.5 trail run yesterday. No worsening of the tendon, but PT tenderness had me cut at least one or two runs short.
