The past three weeks have been pretty bad at times. It’s not keeping me down. I’m able to do my weight and strength workouts as well as my mountain bike training.
Icing with Frozen Peaz and stretching not just muscles in my foot, but my calves, hamstrings and hips too.
You wouldn’t think that driving a car would be hard or cause issues but it has at times. Driving in traffic and my (right) foot is constantly either on the gas or brake pedal. At times it was extremely painful to drive.
Knowing that my son had his first mountain bike race of the season, two and a half hour drive up north, driving was going to be difficult. Once on the highway and up to speed I was able to get use the cruise control option. Taking my foot off the gas pedal every so often and stretch it out. I also brought the best thing yet and it has really helped.
A few treatments with the JigSaw massage gun (I’ve been able to go cordless, I’ll update on that later) and using a pair of vibrating insoles. I had these insoles for a few years now and they are very interesting. They are remote control operated and one insole can be place in each shoe. Once we got on the road, I was able to use the right foot insole and keep a constant vibration on the sole of my foot. It helped a TON. I have been using the insole too now while sitting at my desk for longer periods of time.
I am hoping and praying this will do the trick and knock out the issue for good.
On a side note, my son did great on his first race and I am excited to see him complete the rest of the season. Four more races to go!
