The Stress Fracture

In March 2009, I was running on the treadmill and felt a slight pain in my foot. By the time I got to mile 10 the pain got worse and my foot was swollen. I was stuck in a boot for 3 months with no running! I had a bad stress fracture in my right foot.

At the time I was in the best shape, running my fastest at every run. Which is what eventually wore me down.

Tonight I started running on the treadmill and felt a pain familiar to the one I experienced Last March. But at least this time I stopped right away. I went home, iced, elevated my foot, and took ibuprofen.

I may not run for about a week. I'd rather not run for a week than not run for 3 months!!

Ok so I have a confession. Tonight I was by myself and the frudge is empty. So tonight is a cheat meal night whoo!! Drool over my Qdoba people.. steak quesadilla and fajita ranchera naked burrito!



Have you ever had a running related injury?

    I used to have to ice down my knees after cross country practice. Does that count? Mostly I just wanted to tell you that I am, in fact, drooling over your food. When are you taking me out to dinner? Girls night!
