Well. Amy most certainly isn't taking Disney. MAYBE the half. And it won't be pretty.

Finally saw Cute Doctor again. He popped the MRI images up on the screen. And proceeded to point out the stress fracture. The very bad stress fracture. I think he was almost excited by the severity of it. He did mention had I run through the pain for one or two more runs, it would most likely have resulted in a full break. Which would then require surgery and placing a rod in my leg. Um, ow?

For the next 5 weeks...I can swim, bike and yoga it up. No more elliptical even. The marathon is OBVIOUSLY out. The half is feasible. But it may be that I don't run until the actual race day.


But come on, how bad ass am I to have run 13.1 with a nasty stress fracture and still meet my under 2 goal? Do you think I can negotiate with the ME Half people and either: A. get them to put a footnote for me indicating this fact or B. knock a couple of minutes off my overall time? Am I obnoxious? Yes. Do I care? No.

Erin will continue training for the full. Which I am very excited about. I told her that I would be her official snickers provider during the race.
