I'm BACK !!!!!!

WOOT WOOT !!!! An amazing, overwhelming trip filled with so much laughing, so much drinking, so many good times and best of all.... so many amazing amazing amazing friends. I am SOOOO very fortunate. It was two weeks of Maine, NYC, DC, and Connecticut. I couldn't have asked for a better two weeks.

Started off in Maine, and did the Silent 5K... we were rushed and I totally forgot my 'shut up and run' shirt... sheesh... BUT... I did not talk the entire time. That being said, it wasn't a freakin' 5K... it ended up being 4 miles total. But to a lighthouse and back along the coast. Beautiful :)

Today, I went to get the MRI results... hhhmmmm not so great...

"Stress reaction of the proximal/mid tibial shaft. No discrete fracture line. Marrow edema just deep to the lateral and posterior cortex of the proximal and mid-tibial shaft extending for a craniocaudal distance of 6.5 cm. Equivocal stress reaction of the fibular neck".... Did you get all that ?? hehehe... apparently, there was a stress fracture back in 2007 and because it wasn't diagnosed right and I just kept doing what i do, it didn't ever heal completely. So no running for at least 2 weeks... and then he gave me a schedule... which is lame. But I'll follow it. It's basically a 'run / walk' thing... as soon as I have NO zip zero zilch pain for 2 weeks straight I can start with his schedule :

Looks like this ... walk/jog for 30 minutes

Week 1 = jog for one minute / walk for one minute

Week 2 = jog for two minutes / walk for one minute

Week 3 = jog for three minutes / walk for one minute

you get the idea... by week 6 he said I should be able to run for 30 minutes straight. However, any pain and we're right back to square one.

Here's what I DID NOT want to hear.... 'if this continues, it's a bone density thing and we'll be looking at other options".... BOO

So here's to easy jogging... not pushing it... and he shook his head about my 10K in Sept and simply said 'probably not going to happen' about the Half in October. We'll see... I can always walk / jog in October :)
