First post of 2024, and it's February already! I've already been on holiday (10 days in Cozumel), picked up an odd running injury (morten's neuroma) and started the 7 month training plan.
The injury started around Christmas and progressively got worse until around mid-Jan when I realised it was not going away quickly. A diagnosis by Dr. Google brought me to mortens neuroma, a nerve related issue between the 3rd and 4th toe, commonly brought about by wearing high heels and narrow shoes evidently. I ruled out the high heels as a possible cause but immediately invested in some wide fit running shoes. In summary, it's not getting worse, but I don't think it's getting better either. Seems to me that it probably took a long time getting to where it is now, so will take a long time getting back to where it was. Time will tell, but it's not putting me off running too much, and after a mile or 3 I can't feel it anyway.
