So ... long story sorta short:

SGM: I had a really good first half (much better than I expected) and then around the halfway mark the pain in my left leg began to intensify significantly. I had been dealing with pain there for quite some time and had just figured that the meds had worn off and that I was running harder than normally. After that, the rest of the marathon pretty much stunk!

I took a week off, and then began adding short runs in. I was happy because I was running all of them without any meds and the pain seemed to be lessening. My only concern was what I thought was a ganglion cyst that I thought needed to be drained.

Today I went to see the doctor to see if he could drain it. He had me run 4 miles to see if we could aggravate the cyst enough to really make it stand out so that when he poked it he could be spot on. I ran, the cyst acted up, but as the doctor was palpating the area he pushed on a spot on my tibia that put me through the roof! He put the needle down and said we needed to do a set of x-rays. Result: stress fracture. :( :( :(

Positive side: it isn't that big and unlike many tibial stress fractures it is not horizontal, but mostly vertical (which is good since fractures that stay out in the cortex area and don't penetrate the core of the bone heal much quicker). It looks almost like when you shred a small portion of the outside of a twig a bit. Know what I mean? Sigh. It is already in the healing process and if I am a good girl it should hypothetically heal somewhere between 2-4 weeks from now.

Anyway, enough said.

Peace! :)
