worked all day on a very tender foot. seriously!!! this is getting ridiculous. I have a podiatry appt on tues at 10am. ANSWERS!!! a pediatrician at work who is good with feet/bones....told me I could have an avulsion fracture where my tendon actually pulled a piece of my heel bone off!! He figures my podiatrist will order an xray. And if not broken (which it really only feels like the tendon and not the bone) he will probably allow for another steroid shot since the first one the other dr. gave me did not work. I can hardly wait. The pain is messing with my brain and my other leg muscles since I they have to work hard to work around the pain in my foot. I am getting used to the idea of wearing two boots at boston. but honestely I am still just in the denial phase. as it gets closer I am sure I will have the depression part sink in. no depression just yet. feeling optimistic. I was fit a week ago so I should still be fit in three weeks. I won't be where I would have been at I just hope to run Boston without pain. STRANGE COINCIDENCE--- I got my first and last steroid shot in March of 1996 just before the 100th Boston. I could not train well because of bone pain in my right big toe. The steroid miraculously worked (and hurt like nothing else) but I was able to run. I ran slow and everything hurt but my foot in the race. And here I am, repeating history. Very odd. Maybe I have fears of being back in my home town. PSYCH!!! Okay wait a minute I am getting depressed..... I just read some blogs and how well their runs are going.....and I can't run. Nothing. I think denial phase is passing. SADNESS.

awww Julie I feel so bad for you. I've admired your enthusiasm and positive attitude and work ethic since I joined the blog... after StG I knew you were going to bounce back and run a sub 3 and honestly I felt like you were going to have an awesome race at boston... this injury sucks... sending positive vibes your way and hope you get some answers soon.

Its not fair!!!
