Foregoing the La Porte Half Marathon

Months ago, I signed up for the La Porte Half Marathon, which is tomorrow morning.  While I have been struggling somewhat in recent months with the RA and Afib, the inflamed right heel is still inflamed and hurting after 19 days.  I have been treating it and maybe it has improved somewhat. I have debated with myself about running the half anyway, but I may really screw up the heel.  My plan is to see if I can get an appointment with a podiatrist next week.  My regular doctor thought it was gout in an odd place, but gout would have gone away by now.  So, I will skip the half tomorrow.  In the meantime, I went to the state park late this morning and ran 4 miles on the trails.
