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:

2008 Outer Banks Trip
We took a week and headed down to Corolla, NC for a vacation. We were originally invited by my Dad and Debbie to stay in their great house but we took the opportunity to combine a family vacation with a family vacation and got our own place. We were able to take Lucy this way too! A great time all week!
- Dinner each night at Dad's place (couples took turns cooking). We made pasta and homemade sauce on Thu night
- Beach each day, pool each day, lots of swimming and sand!
- Lucy got some great swimming in after a rough first night (vomitting, a......LOT)
- Haley got some great pictures of us all on the beach after dinner
All in all a great time reconnecting with family and getting some much needed relaxation in! Thanks to Mom and Bill for saving our trip by lending us their Subaru Outback when the Murano decided to die out on us 2 days before leaving for vacation.

Review - Les Miserables @ the Walnut Street Theater
Natalia and I were fortunate enough to score some free tickets to this show this past friday night (6/6/08). We have seen and are very familiar with the music and story line, so we had high expectations. However, we combined those expectations with those that we have of the Walnut Street theater performances we have been too.
We have seen 2 prior shows there, one was good, one was poor. However, we felt ripped off leaving both. Not the case with Les Mis though. We felt like the actors did a really GREAT job and the production of the show was top-notch. Its been probably 7 or 8 years since we last saw it on Broadway, but outside of some stage production differences, this seemed like the real deal! The singing was great, the music was great, and the Walnut Street theater did a fantastic job. Not bad for 199 years of experience! ha!
We were watching the show and recognized one of the cast members too! That is odd, right? Natalia's high school love, his wife, was in the show! Unfortunately we had no way of getting back stage or of letting her know we were there, but it was pretty cool to see her up on stage and singing!
It was a late night though, the show ran exactly 3 hours, it was about 12:15am when we got home. Made for a short night, but our NEW babysitter worked out great!

6/032008 (Tues) - Run
Another very beautiful day, though once I hit the road it was hotter than I expected. Shins hurt this time, both the right and the left, and now, a number of hours later, my right shin really hurts. I think more than last year but I can't be sure. I am a tad dismayed by the pain and with hesitation considering my treatment options...
