I went to the podiatrist yesterday to see if I had a stress fracture--verdict? NO. WOOHOO!! Seems that my very high arches (thanks Mom!!) does bad things to the legs as I run long. So I left with a list of running shoes to buy, a leg immobilizer to sleep with, shoe inserts, a prescription for Celebrex (but also learned that pineapple acts as anti-inflammatory so I'll stock up on that instead), and twice-weekly visits to the physical therapist to learn how to strengthen properly and stretch out the tight calves. I asked him if I should consider being a tri-athlete instead of a marathoner but told him running is my real love, he said I could run til the end of my days as long as I do it right. I LOVE THIS DOC!
So today I see Dr Jaime, the physical therapist, and she'll tell me when to tie on my shoes again! Ohh I'm dying to get out there. And I also just ordered yak-trak, so, baby, I am set!!!! Bring it on!!

I think this is the best Xmas gift: you can run til the end of your days (another 100 years more or less)!
Oh gosh--I can't afford to live another 100 years!!
Oh come on...triathlons are where it's at!
That's interesting about pineapple. I'll start to drink the pineapple-orange juice again, instead of plain OJ!

Bolder--keep tawkin "packages"--and the evil twin cant stay hidden!
I'll trade you some of your high arch for some of my flat feet, OK? Then we'll both be in great shape.
Bklyn,
Let's both wish on that tonite and see what happens in the morning!!
I vote for Triathlons, only because being a Marathoner *and* a Triathlete is totally cool. :-)
