<P>I feel your pain. I'm a runner too. You should have already iced and stretched it (gently) and tape it since it seems you have to keep running. When you get more time rehab it with some rest, but for now a good idea is taping it. If its not to bad that is. <p>There are two ways you can do it: <p>Put two anchor strips at the base of the largest muscle in the calf and across the ball of the foot. Point your toe a little and make an X with the tape the center of the X crossing over at the heel. tape over the ends to secure it and then wrap loosely with an ace bandage. <p>Start with anchor strips at the same place (the one on the foot can be a little closer to the arch, whatever is comfortable) and then cut a strip that will stretch firmly from that anchor strip to anchor strip (oh this should be that tan, elastic, really sticky tape) and cut it along the middle about an inch at each end and point the foot slightly, then pull the tape firmly around the back of the ankle and the midfoot. Smooth it down and tape the top and bottom firmly over with a couple strips. <p>with both tactics you shouldn't have too much tension that you can't move your foot, but not so loose that you don't feel a little pull. If you feel a little side to side instability you can tape over it for more security. If its bad add a couple more strips as needed to back the strips going from your foot to the base of your calf muscle. <p>Try to get someone to help you... a trainer or someone. And always remember to ice and stretch!~ Good luck with getting the rest of your miles done :D
