I can run fine for several miles. Then it gets angry. If I'm running on uneven terrain, it gets worse.
NSAIDs are very effective. But at what cost? I did get a prescription for a Ketoprofen cream (basically an NSAID that you rub on the affected area). It works too. But my insurance doesn't cover it, and it is about $40 per ounce. That should last me a couple weeks, and with the allowable refills, I will definitely have some magic cream in my next 100 miler drop bag.
Rest is working for me. I'm hitting the weights and relaxing. It's nice to end the summer knowing that I don't have to run 100 miles anytime soon.
But then again, MMTR is just around the corner.

Hi Neal - Thanks for the post about your tendonitis. It's not what I'm feeling at all. The soreness that I'm experiencing is not at all severe, and I don't even notice it when I run. It's more by my achilles and underneath my achilles. I know what's causing it. I tend to tense up my feet (my right foot more) and walk/stand on the outside of my foot. I don't know why I do it...bad habit really. I'm really working on relaxing my feet and ankles as I think that the tension I exhibit there is the problem and mostly a bad habit. A wierd one at that.
Rest up and get well again! Love your blog.
