Portage lakes was last triathlon of the 2008 season. I ran well but, was ready for a break. My feet have been hurting and I felt like I am missing out at home. My favorite part of fall is all the color changes, especially the deep amber and tan that one would find in a decent Oktoberfest or Pumpkin ale. 200 calories of autumn greatness. That was all fine and good, and I surely take part in a big way for a few weeks. This year I planned on a month off of working out to let everything heal for IMKY. An off month basically means I run occasionally and do some rehab type resistence training. Sounds good. Maybe. Last Friday I went to an ortho specializing in feet. Since mine hurt it was logical. After x-rays and a 30 minute sit down it turns out I beat 'em up real good. I have picked a sweet case of bursitis in my left foot followed by planter fasciitis, perineal tendonitis, and a fracture of my rt. tarsel. (big toe area). I have been put on an immediate 8 weeks off which I bargained down to 2 as long as I go to rehab (the kind for my feet, not my liver) I find it rather depressing, and now I have to drop the beers as well. If I'm not running I will get fat. sucks.
So what's next?
Looks like I will be icing and resting. I also figured that I will start some NSAID's for a few weeks. Looks like i'm back in the pool so maybe swimming the Potomac is a late spring possibility. I need to get my feet back on par especially if I am runnng the BT50K in January. Also there's this thing I do in the fall where I kill ducks and deer then eat them with bbq and hickory smoke.
I am going to try to keep up on this blog. It would be nice to post once or twice a week with pictures. Plus there's always the legend of Rod Berry...
