don't do anything by halves
I limped to the doctor on Monday. He sat patiently, as I recapped the last week of a long run, a little more pain, no running, a short run, more pain, inability to walk, no long run. Of course, I used dramatic hand gestures, emotional facial expressions, long pauses and a few sighs for good measure.
He sent me for more xrays and scans.
I got the results back this afternoon. It seems I have not one but two stress fractures. One in the side of my foot, where it hurts, shockingly, and one on my second toe, ironically the 'this little piggy had none'. Tired of having nothing and stuck beside beef and wee wee would be enough to make anyone crack.
If this wasn't enough. This morning while I was getting ready for work, I stubbed 'this little piggy stayed home' the one on my good foot on the dresser. Do you know what you do when you stubbed your toe really hard. Like bring tears to your eyes hard. You automatically lift the stubbed foot and start hopping around while swearing on the other one.
Can you see the problem? The hopping foot, is my bad foot. Do you know what happens when you try and hop on a bad foot, when the other one is too sore to put down and you are swearing like Gordon Ramsey in the middle of a dinner service?
You give up. You fall down. You lie there. After a few minutes of staring under the bed you realise how much it needs vacuumed.

Ok, so what does this mean?
You can take up drinking and meet me in rehap in a few weeks. I was thinking "The Betty" becuase it's a classic. But then it me that i could see alot more celebrities in somewhere like "Promises." And we can do yoga and stuff there.
What do you think?

Wow Ali, that sucks. It's like the universe is telling you to slow down, take it easy, have a few drinks... oh and vacuum under your bed already.

Ohhh, I am so sad for you. I'd try to be Pollyanna for you now and say, well at least you now have more time for cleaning or catching up on the celeb goss... but that's just not right, is it?
What are the recovery plans and any ideas on how it happened? Especially with the toe? Just from the running or did you smash your foot at some time?

Oh crap that sucks. On the other hand, at least you have a name for the beast. My hub has been having pain for quite a while and they can't figure out what it is. Totally sucks.
I LOVED loved loved the Gordon Ramsey line.

Surely you can't swear as well as Gordon?
The 5k at the end of March will give you a good 'before' time for the half-fast challenge.

Oh no!!! So sorry to hear about your stress fracture. I had one of those in my ankles almost two years ago. Rest, take it easy and hopefully you'll be back at it in 6 weeks or so!
