It’s only Monday and my plans for the week have already changed. I had my alarm set for 5 am so that I could be at the pool for a swim by 5:45 am. When it rang I said, “Umm no…” turned it off and went back to sleep. That is 2 mornings in a [...]

I Have Extra Bones in my Feet

June 15, 2011

So I went to see the foot doctor today to make sure there’s nothing serious going on with my bum foot. The podiatrist that I really wanted to see had a bio of having completed 30 marathons, as well as triathlons and ultra-marathons. But of course, his next available appointment is in mid-August.

Test Run

June 14, 2011

My foot has been feeling better the past few days. I can finally walk down stairs normally and the foot has full range of motion. And since it’s been 13 days since my last run so I decided to go for a test run this evening. Throughout the day all I could think about was [...]
