So, I guess I didn't get back with the information about JJ, my honor patient. More on him in a bit.

Evidently I bit off more than I could chew after all. My runs were finally getting consistent, the weather was cooperating, and aside from some troublesome shinsplints, I was feeling pretty good.

Then my left foot started hurting. Just a minor annoyance at first, but by the time I was halfway through last week's long run, I had to slow to a walk, then just stop.

Turns out I had a stress fracture. No running for me for six weeks. SIX WEEKS! If I take six weeks off, there's no way I'll be ready to run 26 miles by mid January.

So, now I'm seeing what I have to do to switch to the half marathon. If I had to, I could do that walking.

*shrug* Gotta do what I gotta do, I guess.

I'll be back later with info on JJ...right now, I'm going for a walk.
