Marathon Me

This morning I am heading into the orthopedist to see if I have broken my foot.  I ran a fun 31 mile trail run this weekend and seemed to have tweaked my foot some.  I didn’t notice it when I was running (probably because I was just kicking so much ass and all), or that night (probably because we were drinking copious amounts of red wine), but when I woke up yesterday morning it was very tender to walk.

I took it easy yesterday hoping I’d be able to run today, and while I probably could have taken a “Man Pill” and run, I decided for once to do the smart thing and take it easy.  Somehow I also have decided to do two smart things in one day and go get checked out.  Normally I would just wait it out and see, but I have another trail marathon coming up on Saturday, so I need to know if it is broken so I can start rethinking my racing strategy in Kentucky.  I may be power-hiking it, or I may get to run.

I’ll report back once I know what the X-rays say.  Wish me luck.
