Didn't even get an MRI for another month. :-/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375635908578612443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-9145719772711435842014-08-21T06:00:18.172-07:002014-08-21T06:00:18.172-07:001) That sucks.

2) Glad that...1) That sucks. Hope it heals quickly!<br />2) Glad that you own it and are willing to let it recover. People who ignore doctors and keep running/whatevering on injuries give me the rage. I probably would have done the same thing because NATIONALS woo. Congrats on a couple of really fast races on a broken foot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-71097462700321759472014-08-20T17:48:02.816-07:002014-08-20T17:48:02.816-07:00I will echo the other injury running folks.

I guess I just know how painful stress fractures are and how much mental strength it takes to run through that pain...I didn't mean to advocate such behaviour by implication.<br /><br />I agree that it takes a lot of strength to miss a race too...I should know about that since I'm a slave to my brain and I feel compelled to at least attempt races despite being in a terrible state of injury. And I moan about the consequences, so really I'm the worst kind of person in that respect.<br /><br />I'm glad your races were indeed worth it for you though, and really you had no concrete way of knowing that your foot would end up with a fracture. It was bad luck at the end of the day, and I'll join Hollie in sending over healing vibes. I don't think I quite understand how to do emojis though!<br /><br />xxxJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577732790717175356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-74459811007043729922014-08-20T11:14:18.630-07:002014-08-20T11:14:18.630-07:00This is a great post.

You said everything so wisely and smart. I'm sending you the healing vibes. Good thing there are lots of star and magic emojis...Is there a foot? I'll have to check.
