It’s Not Broke!

I called my family doctor yesterday to find out the results of my foot x-rays.  Turns out I DO NOT have a stress fracture!

**HAPPY DANCE**

Of course they have no idea what is wrong with my foot and I should just try to “rest” it.

Um…yeah.  Okay.

Not.

Don’t they know I have a 60 mile walk to train for?  I must Keep Going®!

They did call me in a prescription, but it was only for Motrin.  I don’t know about you, but Motrin doesn’t do much for me.  I live on Advil as it is (and Advil is just over-the-counter Motrin).  So, I will start my training up again tonight with a short walk (maybe 3 miles) at our High School track.  This way, I won’t be far from my car in case my foot starts to give me grief.  I plan on taking it easy with short walks, but I definitely need to Keep Going with my training if I want to succeed come November.

And, in case you are wondering about my impending breast biopsy…there is no word on it, yet.  I’m actually really frustrated about it.  I’ve called my OB every single day since Wednesday (which is when they were supposed to have my radiology reports), and they have not called me back yet.  I’ve left 5 messages for a call back.  Nothing.  Don’t get me started.  This is only to schedule the biopsy, I’m not sure why it’s this difficult.

So, that’s what’s up with me.  How about you?

Walking, Walking, Walking

This week I’ve pretty much followed the suggested training schedule put out by The 3 Day trainers.  I walked 3 miles on Tuesday and 3.5 on Thursday.  I found this groovy little website called Daily Mile that is helping me track my mileage. I was really tickled with myself that I’ve walked a total of 30 miles so far.  If you use Daily Mile, then add me as a friend so we can encourage each other.
