No run today.  Yesterday both tops of my feet were aching, so I decided to rest today.  I kept thinkging about Jennifer Weyermiller.  Jenny was a senior when I was a freshmen in high school.  She was the fastest girl in the state.  As a freshmen she broke the AZ state record in the 100.  She broke it again as a sophomore.  She broke it again as a junior.  And as a senior, she broke her foot.  A week before divisionals she was complaining about a soreness in her foot.  Coach told her she didn't need to run, but it was our big invitational meet, and she wanted to do well for the home crowd.  She ended up breaking her foot in the 200.  Stress fracture.  So, call me paranoid, but I think a day of rest will do me a lot of good.  Don't you?

Breaking bones is never fun. I broke my fibula once in a race. I actually heard and felt it crack near the end of my race and limp-sprinted the 200 ft to the finish line. That was after running through pain for about 3 weeks. I shoulda known. Now I know better. Good choice, Burt.

From Steve Piccolo on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 22:37:19 from 66.60.122.20

Yes, especially the week before a marathon.

From Rhett on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 10:58:23 from 74.42.168.210

Smart move taking a day off. You're close enough to race day now that your running is just to keep your body fresh.

From Merri on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 18:25:45 from 67.199.179.247

Jenny will never learn.

From nguyenvn on Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 20:51:08 from 71.68.254.197

Definitely rest! Although most of us runners do tend to enjoy some pain, well at least I do haha, everyone needs to rest. You're looking good Burt! I see a huge PR coming up!
