Well, went to the doctors this morning and yes it is a stress fractures. CRAP!!! I am really frustrated, but the Dr. was really awesome! He has more confidence in me doing the marathon than I do. I can't let this get the best of me. He really made me feel good about still going for it. I wanted this to be a defining year for me in my running and it still will be. I have always has a determination problem and this will help me kick that handicap. I am very motivated to show myself that I can do this and that I am a strong person. I caught it in it's early stages and he said that that was good. He is saying 6 weeks. It also helps to hear my husband say, you can do this....don't let it stop you. I need to remember to "find joy in the journey" |
