up next...

.. a bone scan.  i managed to get an appt for this morning with my sports injury doc to read the xray and tell me what i knew i was going to hear.  No running, no riding, nothing.  6 weeks.

Today I'm in a crap load of pain, maybe as a result of yesterday's treatments.  My next appt is Sept 4th, not sure if the bone scan will be done that day, or just a consultation prior to getting that done.  Not sure if it will make sense to have one done though, because let's say that there is currently a stress fracture (along with the healed ones showing on the xray).  I've been told already to take 6 weeks off, complete rest.  I'm going to follow that 100%.  A bone scan would confirm a stress fracture, after which I'd be told to rest -- if I'm doing that anyway... is it necessary?  anyway, i will leave it to the pros.

My spirits got lifted a little last night...  watching the 110m men's hurdles last night... Silver medalist, USA's David Payne is also recovering from left tibial stress fracture.  It can be done -- it will be done, i will get back out running, but for now, i will have to practice patience.

Sending quick recovery vibes your way and strength to be patient in the meantime.

Hang on in there, I know this really sucks but think of it as mental training, patience is something you'll need when you start your marathon training...which you will start!
