I am so bummed! I have been training and working so hard to do one of every distance running races this summer, ending in September with a half-marathon.  I was up to running 10 miles without dying. Well, it's all in the dumpster now! I thought I had a shin splint, but it wasn't getting better so I went to the doctor yesterday. I actually fractured my tibia! To top it all off, I was favoring that leg for a couple days, and threw out my back and can barely move without help! I'm not one for a "pity-party", but this is my party and I'll cry if I want to!  Well, thanks for joining my party. I just wanted to whine a little, and since the competer chair is the only one I can sit in, you are my captive audience!  Luv ya all!

Oh man!  I'm so sorry about that.  You worked so hard and, 10 miles, I couldn't even ride a bike that far.  :)  You did well.  Maybe a little rest is in order after all.  Bring out the crafts and try not to think about it.  Blessings to you and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry that happened...

Hope you heal quickly and how long will it put you out for?

I stayed home today because the goofy way I've been walking on it for almost a week has done a number on my back, so I can only sit in one chair and need help to stand. I did get crutches today and they help. I'll be back to work tomorrow, but hope to be able to sit a little bit during the day (I'm a bank teller). My running is probably over for the summer,  but I'll be pushing the limits to try to get in at least a late season 5K or 10K.  My husband will be the final voice on that one!
