Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

My bike trainer is in the mail and I'm off to CA with my fiance!! It will arrive just as I get back. In the meantime, I found a pretty awesome century ride training program that correlates so closely with running (long rides, steady state, and threshold rides). I love this structure! I also read that rowing can be as aerobically intense as running. I'm not sure how it will be in my boot, but it's just one more option to try!!

I'm maintaining a great place mentally about this injury. Just in case my moment fades, I ordered a new plate to add to my road id bracelet. It says:

Resilient

Because everyday is an opportunity

This stress fracture is my opportunity to explore new cross-training activities, give my body the break from running I couldn't bring myself to allow, and to fully be reminded of my love to run. It will be a re-invirogating thing, and I will come back with a vengeance!!
