Is today the day?

Quick injury update for everyone who cares (my mom): I've been in a boot for six weeks and today is my appointment to hopefully get out of it. I was feeling great last week but Saturday I think I spent too much time on my feet and my foot started hurting all over again. Even if I'm allowed to do away with the boot I think there's very little chance of me even thinking about walking for exercise let alone running for some time to come. I'm not really sure I'm finished with the boot, to be honest. To say I'm a little discouraged is an understatement.

I guess everything happens for a reason and I suppose there's a reason for this injury to not heal as quickly as I hoped, but maybe I really cheesed off the running gods somehow.


It's a hot look I admit, but I'm ready to give it up.

One positive note: while the pain came back the swelling hasn't accompanied its return. There's always a silver lining...

  1. If I was in a boot I would be miserable so I sort of feel your pain. Good luck on recovering and literally getting back on your feet and training.

  2. Sorry to hear about the boot! Ortho give you any idea why the stress fracture is taking so long to heal?
