I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!
Why not start off my return with a High Five Friday!?!
You are looking at the face of someone that didn't give up today. I mowed the lawn without stopping for a break today. This might not seem much, but it is huge for me. I stuck through the pain! Pain? Yes horrible pain which I will go on to explain below.

Okay...so why was I in so much pain? FLAT FEET! It literally is like the worst thing ever. Since I have flat feet, I suffer from over pronation. Definition "Over-pronation, or flat feet, is a common biomechanical problem that occurs in the walking process when a person's arch collapses upon weight bearing. This motion can cause extreme stress or inflammation on the plantar fascia, potentially causing severe discomfort and leading to other foot problems." http://foot.com/site/foot-conditions/over-pronation It seriously feels like the muscle where my arch is, is ripping with every step I take. | See... I wasn't exhausted from mowing the lawn, I was just in a lot of pain, and that's why I wanted to stop. This is why I have a problem with walking, jogging, and running. It's not necessarily because I'm fatigued, it's the pain!! |
It is definitely starting to get worse! I have tried insoles and certain types of shoes for over pronation, but nothing seems to work. Maybe I didn't try it long enough. Anyways, I stuck through it today and that puts a smile on my face!
