My Right Foot

I had x-ray #2 on my foot the other week.

The pain was slowly returning the more I ran, and I was again worried about a stress fracture. Just like last time, the x-ray came back negative.  So, I got a one-way ticket to physical therapy.  After much poking, prodding and consulting, my PT had a hunch that a subluxated cuboid bone was the culprit.  After a couple of sessions where she manipulated it back into place, I’m now back in tip-top running form.  She did warn that it could shift again, so on my last session Josh came along and my PT showed him how to maneuver it back.  Aren’t I a big, fancy runner now to have my own personal PT.  Don’t be jealous.

Speaking of Josh, two weeks into our half marathon training program, he slipped in the parking lot at work and tore some muscles in his thigh & knee.  He’s been hobbling around for a week while his leg heals, but it’s been pretty slow going.  His knee swelled up like a watermelon then turned various shades of red and purple, and he still has tenderness when he bends it.  I’ve been continuing on with the program on my own and hopefully he’ll be back on track soon.

Speaking of running, check me out in my new high-visibility gear.

Ever since this happened, I’ve been paranoid about not being visible enough to traffic. Seriously paranoid. So I went out and bought the most obnoxious jacket and hat I could find. People would have to be blind not to see me now.  At least that’s my hope.

The students are in full-on statue building mode getting ready for Winter Carnival.  This log cabin was looking pretty good on two weeks ago, I’ll have to run though campus and see what it looks like this week.

Back to running. I’m currently on week 4 of my program. My long run last weekend was 5 miles, this week is a cut back week, and then starts the big climb into March.  My longest run for this program will be 14 miles and I’m already worried about it, especially since I just found out that I’m scheduled to be at a conference in Indianapolis that weekend. I’d better start doing some schedule flopping around or face doing all those miles on the treadmill. No Thank You.

In other news, Scout & Pippen have been training for the Olympics by practicing their synchronized eating.
