Good news - The x-rays came back and my foot is not fractured.
Bad news - My foot is still stiff, no less swollen and I still can't walk on it without pain.
The good 'ole doc says to "take it easy." Remember running break I took last week? Sure, it helped. By the weekend, my foot wasn't bothering me a bit. And I gave it one more day of "easy" on top of feeling pretty darn good. So yea, clearly I need to take it easy for longer than a week. That's a lot easier said than done. And while I'm taking it easy I'm also not training. Which will make that half-marathon pretty difficult.
I'm frustrated.

hi friends, family & strangers who stumbled their way here through the search engines. it is true - i am running 13 miles. my race is on May 8 - the One America 500 Festival Mini-Marathon. this is my second year signing up, but i have yet to complete (or start for that matter) those thirteen point one miles. in january 2009 my friend Mal, who works for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society finally convinced me i could do it. (she's not only checked a half- off her list, she's now training for a tri-.) about midway through my training my left foot gave out and i never got to run the Mini. before i started training i would have told you how much i hated to run. mostly because i choose to hate things i am not good at. [except singing. i disregard my level of awfulness.] but here's the deal - i loved it. i felt stinkin' great to tell the truth. so here i am again. i'm not participating in the [awesome] Team in Training program this year, but i am finally going to prove to myself that i can do this.
do you hear that left foot?
sorry Karissa! Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to train if you take a few weeks off. It'll be worth it still! Promise!
