Just another day at Planet Fitness

Last night, my foot acted up for the first time in almost 2 months. For those who don't know, I have a Freiberg's infraction on my left foot. I injured my foot in high school at some unknown point in time. Essentially, I broke my middle toe and injured the growth plate, so it stopped growing. Now there's arthritis. I saw a podiatrist who gave me some cortisone shots, and shoe inserts. Last resort is surgery. They'd go in, remove the part of bone and put in a joint replacement. I want the surgery. This problem will never go away. I'm only 26 years old, I'd like to wear heels again in my life one day. But I agreed to play the game his way, and try the inserts. They actually worked great until yesterday. :-\ I iced my foot last night and today at work, and felt a lot better. Went to the gym, felt fine. Got home, took my shoes off, and it's all arthritic and swollen again. :( I'm trying to hold on off surgery until 2013 for financial reasons. We'll see.

Anyway, tonight's workout went like so:
