Last week I went to see Dr. Feehery. He confirmed my suspicion that I had a stress fracture. In fact, I had 2! Luckily, they seem to have healed. He gave me some inserts for my shoes and gave me an agressive stretching program to increase my flexibility. I also have started running again, if you would even call it that.
I have to do 80% walking, 20% running. So in my 15 minute routine, I get a whopping 3 minutes of running. I can gradually work up to 20 minutes, then start working the percentages down. It will take a while to get back to actually running for 20 minutes, but hopefully it will be worth it.
Won't be long before I need to get in shape for the next race:
