Alright folks, thanks for stopping by. I’ve had some minor technical difficulties (the USPS lost my new iRiver) and medical difficulties so haven’t really been down for working on this, but I’m gonna give it a go.
So the medical problem… well, with the assistance of a colorblind Lexus owner I wiped out on my bike while riding into Boston . After a visit with an appropriate medical professional I discovered I had sprained my ankle and broke my foot, or rather, had them sprained and broken for me. You can imagine how thrilled I have been about that, but I’m trying to make the best of it. The Doc said 3 months of no running (I’m shooting for 2) but I can bike, swim and use the elliptical as much as I like. So, once I get to school I’m going to dive into all three. I still biked to and from work a couple times since the accident, 16-17 miles each way, and I’m enjoying the bikerides. The ironic thing is once I start actually doing this podcast… I won’t be running. I will however be discussing the immense frustrations that can come with this kind of injury, my recovery, general marathon news and my continuing quest to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
One other possibility for discussion is that since I’ll be working far ore on biking and swimming, it may be time to start considering a triathlon. The marathon is still my raison d’etre but I hope the increase in cross training will give that training an added boost.
