I've been really bad recently updating my journal here on Gaia. But what's new right now? Next week is finals week at San Jose State University! So I'll be online more starting next week and able to help out more people ^_^. Also I am excited that I'll be around every day ;D.
Recently...like about two months ago, I hurt my foot. Being myself (maybe a typical guy thing) I decided not to tell anyone and just walk on my hurt foot, which was my left foot. My heel would swell up some times and I'd continue my regular mile to four mile runs, jogging, and running on campus with a 15lb backpack on my back!
About a week ago I finally decided to go into the doctors to get my foot checked out since the pain and swelling never seemed to get better. It would always hurt and become a little swollen after my rigorous running activities. So after talking with the doctor he told me that I have a common issue among runner called <insert name...>. Simply put there were two issues at hand. My shoes were not meant for long distance running, just sprinting (and on the track only). The other issue was that I had no arch support so I had been over stretching my arch in my foot and not allowing it to heal.
Yesterday I went down an purchased some shoe inserts that had arch supports and I am not being as active as I was before to help my foot out. But knowing myself, I"ll be back to running within a week rofl
Lastly, I'll be attending Fanime on Sunday. ;D
