2008... What will she bring?
Because 2007 is shot.
The foot is in a state. Right foot, right side, just below the ankle. Severe pain in the morning. Red mark. Foot is bearable with ibuprofen during the day.
I can't feel it just now due to an old Irish remedy.
I am going to see a podiatrist. Something is wrong - more so than the normal injuries I am used to. I've done something to the old boy and I don't know what. I think it stems from something simple to an aggravated condition since I've had some slight pain for a month or so. Now the chickens have come home to roost.
If I can recover, I'd like to join my pals at the MDI marathon for some light hearted marathoning. If not, I'll be a spectator. Marc is back on track so it looks like he' s running the race. This is great. Mike's recent posts claim some trouble on the training front and maybe a revision to his racing plan. But as Marc pointed out to me today: "Mike says things are tough and then smokes a PR". I think there's a word for this. Hustler.....
And how about that crazy southern Mainer? 31 miles of mountain running - for fun. He's part goat. I'll still show up for that camping / running trip next week if only to be part of the run (somehow).
Maybe things will just clear up on their own. Maybe a little rest? Marc and his rusty saw?
This will be the first year since 2003 I've haven't run a marathon. Many, many lessons to be learned here. Classic.

Now there's a bummer, but don't overdo it on the Olde Irish Remedies - they have side effects!
After breaking 3 hours I thought you were set up for a great 2007, but things don't always work out that way, and you certainly tend to push the envelope a bit.
Get better soon, and after a good rest the body might be up for great things in 2008.
Bummer about the foot. Hope it's something not too serious and the doctors can get you back on track.
There is a chance I may not be able to make it next weekend, but I'll keep you posted. Will know by the end of this weekend.
Sometimes a podiatrist really can work wonders. I hope you have a good one there. I remember thinking my first big case of Morton's neuroma would sideline me for a month or so, as every step was painful. The guy I found had me running the next day with a change to the insoles. I realize I was very lucky.
I'm hoping you can keep your chin up, as I feel part of healing is certainly mental. Good luck Andrew, I hope you can join the gang for the race
Let's see...13 months 'til PEI. Maybe Holyoke is in the cards to help kick off '08?
Oh, man! I don't know what to say but to get a good doctor soon. And the lessons learned are? Take care now.
