Lucky for some and unlucky for others. Had my bone scan today and I have a definite "hot spot" at the head of the second metatarsal on my right foot. Since the pain has reared its ugly head and gotten progressively worse after each of the last 3 soccer games played on cement-like fields...I'm going with a stress fracture and not bone cancer of really bad arthritis. Will see the doc next week when she gets the official results. 6-7 weeks of no running/soccer puts paid to Wineglass and New York although I might be able to jog the 5K at the Army Run. This has been a fun 12 months!!
Anyone have a second hand "fracture boot"?

A "hot spot" on a bone scan can also be inflammation of the soft tissue that attaches to the bone. Do you know if it's actually a fracture?

Not that it makes that much difference for the healing cycle.

I feel your pain, Nick. Hopefully we'll get back on track soon.

That sux Nick

Haven'T done my hills. I just don't feel like running them in the heat will wait until later on tonight.......

I don't think it's going to cool off much around here tonight--I think the overnight low is 22 or something--and by then, it'll be tomorrow!

Nick -- hoping everything heals up quickly for you.....

Got a nice 31 km bike ride in the DH -- the first one of the season! It was HOT out

I am going to wait a couple more hours before I run. Still pretty hot out there.

Swam three laps at Cherry Beach. I think each lap is about 550-600m, depending on whether you took the straightest route or not. My laps were between 6:00-6:50, depending on which direction I was swimming in (I was always slower swimming west than east).

And now I am consuming a beer! Happy weekend, everyone!

Nick - yeah that sucks. Truly hope it heals miraculously fast!

Rest day for me. Felt better yesterday and had a great time on the photo shoot with Miss Hannah but guess I pushed it a bit much as the cold was back with a vengeance today. If I am going to get my long run in it has to be tomorrow. I am feeling somewhat better this evening and had a good supper so I put the water in the bottles and the bottles in the fridge but I'm thinking it may be a short-long run or even a walk tomorrow ... hoping this cold goes away fast faster fastest! I hate all colds but summer colds are the worst!
