No run today.  No run yesterday.  No run tomorrow.  I have not run for two whole weeks as of tomorrow.  And you know what!?!  My leg is beginning to feel better!!!  Cool Beans!!!

Do not get me wrong.  It is not healed, not by a long shot~but it is feeling better.

My ortho guy told me when I saw him last that he thought that I might be able to resume running in about two weeks.  I thought he was nuts.  Now, I am cautiously optimistic!

He also thought that I MIGHT be able to run that 50 mile Ultra for which I am registered.  I am still not thinking that is a possibility.  BUT…

I found Another Ultra in the state of Mississippi!  Yes!!!  It is the Badland 50. Biloxi, Mississippi.  April 26, 2013.  Only 5 weeks after my original 50 miler.  Now, that seems a bit more do-able!  Do not you think?

Here is the link.    http://northshorerunningclub.com/   and   https://endurancecui.active.com/event-reg/select-race?e=5935352

Sounds exciting!  Sounds hard!  Sounds PERFECT!!!

So, I have not given up hope on my Ultra dreams.  If I cannot be ready for the March 1st Ultra, I do not see any reason why I should not be able to be ready for the April 26, 2014 Ultra…seeing as I do not break my leg again or anything like that.    🙂

This Biloxi race in on the Gulf Coast.  We have lived in Mississippi 4 1/2 years and have never made it down to the Coast.  This would be the perfect excuse to travel there, run a race, play tourist (before the race, NOT after!) and generally have a great time!

Fingers crossed for either March 1st or April 26th.  I am excited!!!
