#176 My foot hurt when I ran today…what do I do NOW?

I received and email from a runner who wrote, “I ran today and my foot hurt when I ran. What should I do right now?"  You want to take the quickest course of action that you can when you get an injury, and most people miss this. Many times what we do instinctively is we stick our head at the sand. We just could say, "Okay, well I'm just going to wait and see how bad it is tomorrow." But when you do that, you're actually missing some crucial steps. There are really a few things you need to do right now.
