Well, Things are not looking good! I couldn't even run to the top of the street this morning, the pain was just to much... Decided to give the elliptical a try but that was even a no go, so I go to the doctor on Monday and maybe if I can get an MRI or something I can get to the bottom of this darn thing! Very disappointing, boarder-line depressed actually.... Just judging by the pain I think it could be a stress fracture which would put me out at least 2 months which would mean St. George is out of the question. I'm pretty sure its not compartment syndrome cuz I wouldn't be running at all the last few weeks if it was that... Right now I'm preparing myself for the worst which would mean another year of no running and competing in races, I will be signing off until Monday. Hopefully I'll have some news then.

Later.

Clay I'm very sorry to hear things have gotten worse. I hope your doctor visit can shed some light on what needs to happen to completely conquer this dang injury. Hang in there man!
