Another setback, the foot……..

I don’t get it, I have been really careful about listening to my body.  I haven’t over-trained. I haven’t pushed past what my plan called for… then why do I have this excrutiating pain on my left foot?  The good news is I had an Xray today and the Dr said he didn’t see a fracture, but I still can’t walk on it.  It has been hurting since Thursday morning.  I haven’t run since my brick on Wed.  He put me on crutches and prescription strength IB.  He was pretty conservative and told me I shouldn’t walk, run OR BIKE!!!  But, I am biking at  the Tuckerman’s Inferno this weekend coming up, can I can’t let me team down.  I don’t think I’ll be running in the May 4th 10k, but I’ll still ride my bike there and cheer on Jessica and Jim or Marie if they are still doing it.

I want to thank Doug profusely for doing the swim/pool run workout with me today.  It can be REALLY boring without someone to talk to when you are pool running.  For anyone that wants a killler workout, you can do that one we did today –Swim 300 w/u; 200 pull; 100 kick; 800 at tempo/race pace; jog 20min in deep end; swim 500 at tempo/race pace; jog 20 min; c/d 100.  I sounds easy, but you are pretty tired after it.  I will be doing it again this week if anyone wants to join me in some pool running

I’m trying to stay positive……………………….  Its a minor setback…………..My goal race is in Nov. NOT A PROBLEM, I’ll be healed by then………….
