Foot Update

It's official, I'm not running the 10-Miler this weekend. My foot is feeling much better (the x-ray showed it wasn't a stress fracture), but not all of the pain is gone. I don't want to risk further injury, so I'm sticking with no-impact exercise this week. At least I found a coworker who wanted to run this particular race but hadn't signed up in time. He's about 50 years old, but according to his bib he'll be a 30-year old female named Stephanie on Sunday! On the bright side, he's much faster than me, so the results they post on the web will make me look awesome. I'll have to look on Sunday afternoon and see how I did. So, while this is disappointing, I've already signed up for the Army 10-Miler on October 5. Just think--If I manage to injure myself before every big race, I'll stay in a state of perpetual training!
