If running makes your feet puffy and swollen, you need to lift your feet up to get some relief, and you can apply an ice pack or a bag of frozen peas to cool them down. If your ice pack is too cold, wrap it in a thin towel or piece of fabric.
The most important step is soak the feet in the hot tub!
After your run might be a tad too soon to plunge your entire body into the family bath tub, but your feet won't mind at all. Take a good secure seat on the edge of your spa pool and dangle those puppies in the wet and wonderful until they quit barking. To increase your pleasure, and the circulation to your feet and ankles, turn the jets of the spa tub on and give those dogs a good massage by the powerful massage spa. They'll howl with pleasure!
After the whirlpool soaking, rest is a important part of the healing process, so allow yourself a little time to recover. It's not a bad thing if you don't have to run, right after you run. Chill out for a half an hour, have a cool beverage, and rehydrate. You'll feel reinvigorated, and ready to take on the rest of your day.
It's spring! Don't waste another minute. Head for the hills, the roads, the trials, but remember who got you there, and take care of your feet!
