I have two doctors appointments tomorrow. I’m not happy about the two days of training I’ve missed, but I’m hopeful that the doctors will tell me how I can work around whatever’s going on with my right ankle. The best case scenario is shin splints; worst case is a stress fracture likely aided by a kick to the shin during a soccer game on the beach at Helen’s birthday party. Ouch. Developing…
I rode my bike to work yesterday so I could leave it with the good people at Bicycle Therapy. I don’t have a bike pump that works with my tires and they were getting dangerously low. That’s not everything that needs work though. I’ve had it since April 28th and have ridden who knows how many miles. I can’t wait to have it back now that the weather’s a bit cooler.
All in all, I’m pleased with the progress I’ve made since April. If I’m hobbled by a stress fracture, all I can do is concentrate on healing and think about running next year’s marathon instead.
