so let's just get this straight… i ran 89.96 miles between the 10th (when the actual injury occurred - i was wrong about it being the 12th) and the 28th of september when i ran the brewers half. after the 1/2 my ankle was feeling sore so i decided to not run the whole week between the 1/2 and the colorama. it was still feeling pretty awful on the 5th (which is when the colorama was) but i taped it and decided to run anyway. if you recall THAT went well.
so last week thursday everything was feeling really good. no pain anywhere so i decided to do a short 6 miles just to feel things out and see how everything was. i decided to do this because of the race i have coming up on saturday and i really didn't think that i should not have any training runs between the two… again, bad idea.
which brings us to my phone call from my doctor today. he said the x-ray showed a fracture near my heel as well as some "muddling" in the heel area. he is sending me to the ortho tomorrow and was saying that because the injury is so old a boot might not be worth doing anymore. he didn't say i couldn't run on saturday but he strongly indicated that i would be extending my healing time (possibly considerably) by running on a fractured foot. today it still hurts from the run last week. not a lot but enough to cause me pause about running in the race on saturday.
i'm really awful at inactivity. i've been sleeping so poorly and i'm going nuts just sitting around eating bon bons all day! jokes… i don't eat bon bons all day… i do eat a lot more candy when i'm not running and i do eat that all day. bummer for me.
i've put on 5 lbs since i had to stop running. this really doesn't matter in any way at this point except in that if i keep that up it absolutely will matter! i NEED to run!
in other news i made the BEST pizza today! there's a restaurant in downtown milwaukee that i love love love called transfer pizzeria/cafe this is notable because this afternoon i decided i wanted to know what was in the white garlic pizza sauce. i googled it and an article appeared which showed me EXACTLY how to make it. in said recipe the author talks about transfer pizza! it was meant to be!
so i printed out the recipe and decided to make the pizza. it turned out amazing! i will definitely be making it again. the only thing that wasn't homemade was the crust because i simply didn't have THAT much energy! i think the next time i make it i will make the dough too…
tomorrow i find out whatever there is to know about my foot. thank goodness i have yoga! i think i would go absolutely nuts just doing NOTHING!
