TYPE-A

In typical Type-A class and style I have a case of TMTS!

Too Much Too Soon, so I guess starting my 1/2 marathon training with a 13 mile run and about killing myself then following it up with a 14.6 mile run at 5K training pace is not the way to do it (See Catch-Up Post Here). All this without stopping or decreasing any of my normal millage.

So after after about 2 weeks of pain in my left Tibia and hoping it was just shin splints I broke down and went to my Ortho.  Some discussion and x-rays we agree that I probably have stress fractures and need a bone scan.  That has been ordered for Friday so will know more then.  However I am prepping myself for 4-6 wks of no running and cancelling my Pamlico Jack Challenge (8K+ Half Marathon) and 3 other races I had on-tap.

Well now I have been talking to my trainer and we are going to start on a stress fracture friendly training program that will keep my running cardio up and keep me in shape so hopefully the recovery to running again will not be so bad. Triathlon X-Training Here I come !!

Ortho Appt

Well I broke down and called my Ortho.....Never thought I could get an appointment with the guy I wanted to see and the conversation went something like this.

Me: Hello, what is the possibility of getting an appointment with Dr.B
Rec: hahahahaha, your name?
Me: TimP
Rec: Oh we know you; Hold on please.
Rec: Be here at 3:30 and we will work you in.

Is that a bad thing?
Updates will come later.

Peace Ya'll!
