Yeah I've been really bad about updating. It's been two weeks since my last post. Granted one week of it was my taper...which i did with gusto, that is to say i basically didnt run for a week. I managed a long run of 5 miles last monday, but that was about it. Oh, and I saw my doc, more on that later.
Yesterday was the Shuffle, I managed not to break anything, so that was good. Even better, I managed a 45:41, or 9:11 pace. I have got to say, that was the most crowded race I've ever run. Hot damn, the crowd just never let up. It was duck and weave from start to finish, like trying to walk down Michigan Avenue during the peak of tourist season (and yes it should be a season so we are allowed to bag one or two).
As for my doctor's visit. It went reasonably well. Nothing is broken, and the xrays show that I am fully healed from the break last spring. So that pain I've been feeling? It's "plate pain" says the doc. Saw the ortho doc, he agreed with my p.c. So, I'm getting it taken out, that's right my hardware gets removed April 5th. I know what you're thinking, because i thought it too...will i be healed in time to start marathon training? Yes, so says both doctors.
