I have a bunion on my right foot and it's gotten bigger in the last year or so.
I guess people get surgery to correct bunions, but I don't want to do that in fear of my running/working out days to be over/significantly limited. But I guess it's just going to get worse....
So I think in order to reach my running/working out goals I'm just going to plan to work super hard this upcoming year, crank out lots of races and PRs......and then get the surgery.
THEN, if a doctor tells me I can't run as much anymore, I will have already achieved my running goals and won't be too heartbroken.
SO, here's some goals for the rest of 2012 and 2013....
1. Run a 10K in under an hour.
2. Run a 15K
3. Increase my 3 lifts (BP, DL, Squat)
4. Do a powerlifting meet
5. Run a half marathon.
Shove it, bunion!
Ugh, I have the same problem. A few years ago it was my right foot and I could barely walk, no it's the left one. I think they only shave off some bone, so you might be okay with running because it doesn't effect the muscles/ligaments.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think I'll be ok. I guess I just read some bad experiences online that people had, so it put the idea in my head of what COULD happen.
