Nash & Kelly's Running Update

Well, this is the first of many postings we plan to provide about our training. Nash and I made the decision to train for this marathon in December. We eased back into running over the next couple months. We got up to 6 miles and were feeling good until I had a little set-back in the month of March. I had what I thought was a re-occurrence of tendonitis in my left foot. After a visit to the ortho/sportmed Dr., 2x/week PT, and a 3 week break from running...I was treated for a condition called Cuboid Syndrome....the cuboid bone in the left foot "subluxes" or "dislocates" causing pain when weight bearing through the foot. The treatment worked! I have learned new stretches, exercises, have purchased new (and expensive) new shoes (see below), and have a taping technique to prevent the dislocation of the bone and I AM RUNNING AGAIN! I'm only up to 4 miles but assure myself I will get to a goal of 7 before the race. FYI, Just a little plug...my shoes came from a store called Fleet Feet Sports in Blue Ash. The staff were fantastic and understood a lot about fitting you with the best shoe for your running style! I highly reccommend this store! Happy Running! Kel
