Post MRI doctor's visit today. Stress reaction/bone inflammation = ordered 6 weeks rest. Pretty much exactly what I was expecting to hear. Major bummer. In hindsight I didn't handle the injury very well at all, should have just rested upon the first signs of a problem. Considering Berlin is in 7 weeks, I will not be running. Chicago on 10/9 is not looking promising either. Big disappointment, needless to say. I guess all I can do is keep a positive attitude and recognize that there will always be another marathon to run. Perhaps in January to qualify for Boston? In the meantime, for the next 6 weeks, swimming and riding the stationary bike (along with PT for my hips/flexibility, etc.) with have to be my means of exercise. Also, 3 x 25 laps (freestyle) in the swimming pool at the Decatur YMCA. About 45 minutes total swimming time. |
