I’m really at a loss as to what to write about…

See, I really don’t want to some across as a whiner.  Can’t stand it when other people do that.  I feel like, “Yup, we know you are unable to do what you would like to do.  Give it a rest, okay?”  Compassion is not my strong point.

This past year has been a dreadful year for training.  It really, really has.

I had that stress fracture over the winter.  I ended up with a concussion right after my Ultra.  Now, I have a messed up foot.

All in one calendar year!

Maybe I’m just getting all of this injury stuff over and done with in one year.  That’s got to be it!

“Yea, yea.  That’s the ticket!”

Today, I am on day 2 of wearing this boot.  The Dr. told me that my foot wouldn’t hurt as long as I wore the boot.  He lied.

My foot still hurts.  Advil is my friend.  (I will mention here, that the Dr. offered me pain medication.  I turned him down.)

So, I am sitting.  That’s right.  Sitting.  I figure the less I move around, the easier it will be on my foot and it will heal quicker.  Right!?!

I am a terribly impatient person.

However, I am a highly motivated person, too!

I have a Marathon on Valentine’s Day and an Ultra three weeks later.  That does NOT leave me a lot of time to be sitting on my patoot if I’m going to be ready for these races.

Come on, foot!  Heal!!!
