Stress Fracture

I completed my third 5k on Sunday. My foot had been bothering me alittle in the past few months but it never discomfort never lasted more than a couple hours. Well, that wasn't the case on Sunday. Yesterday, I broke down and went to the ortho dr. I have a stress fracture of the 5th bone in my foot. No running for a month. Just when I was starting to enjoy it. I have to stick to the bike, eliptical and swimming.

Anyway, for my questions.. Is this going to make me prone to more in the future? Funny, having this makes me feel like an athlete--my right of passage.

I don't post often but I read everyday. Thanks to all for the inspiration!!!

Kim,
Have you had a bone density test? I was very surprised to find out I am a hair away from full blown osteoporosis. I have started Fosamax and increased my calcium and vitamin D.
Hope it heals quickly and congratulations on the 5 K's!

Mary,

Yes, I had a bone density test a couple months ago and everything was fine-thank goodness. 

I hope everything works out for you and the Fosamax helps.
