It’s only day one, but I’ve already uttered the words “I don’t plan to ever run again!” (since this injury may have been related to excessive mileage). My foot is in excruciating pain, I feel nauseous, and the beautiful weather is just taunting me. I am couch-bound, which is like a prison sentence to me. At the sam...
