Dear internets:
One of my lovely readers, Hollie, inquired as to why I hadn't posted on my blog recently. Sadly, it is because I have hurt my foot again and knew I would get really sad about it when I posted it on here. My foot started bugging me pretty bad two weekends ago and on Wednesday I made my way to the doctor. He did an x-ray and told me it was "almost broken" although my prescription says "stress fracture left" on it. And, not only is my foot hurt again, but it is a different toe this time. So, that's three out of five toes on that foot broken or nearly broken.
My foot is in a decent bit of discomfort and I'm not really able to run right now. It looks like I'm definitely out for next weekend's half marathon but could possibly still make the Marine Corps. I'm having an internal debate with myself to just take some real time off and let these injuries heal so I can train for a 50 miler late this fall for next spring. Or, to try and tough it out. The doctor seems to think I don't need much time off, but I didn't take much time off for the last one and all it got me was an almost broken bone.
I've been looking into joining a pilates studio and sticking to that for a while...I will keep you posted. :(
Ohhhhh Alison!!!! That is such sad news! I hate to hear about your foot. You and Pam both are having issues with your foot. My opinion (which honestly doesn't count for much b/c I know NOTHING about running even though I pretend) is that you should totally rest up and plan for the 50 miler this fall or next spring. If you tough it out, you may REALLY break it and be out of commission for a lot longer. I am so sorry!!! I know how much you LOVE to run!!! Thinking about you!
