Stress Fracture!

My right foot has been bothering me since after Wasatch, especially on downhills. I felt it a lot when I ran the new BST around Olympus and it really slowed me down coming off Timp Saturday morning. After seeing a sports med physician and looking at x-rays we concluded it is most likely a slight stress fracture of one of my metatarsal bones. I need six weeks off.

I am out for Antelope 50K and Pony Express 100 mile.

Ugh that's no fun. Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear about the stress fracture. Hoepfully the time off will get you energized and ready for a great next year!

Oh no, I'm sorry. Get some rest and you'll come back stronger.

I am bummed but look at my present condition as time to rest and recover. I did two 100 mile races this year, plus a bunch of other stuff I never believed I could do. I have some even bigger plans for next year, and the years after that.

You should hit the weights 2-3 times per week while you are recovering. It is a good chance to beef up your bod and impress the ladies.

Just checking in. Hope you're doing well. Echo'ing Scott's advice. Do something!..pool, weights, anything to keep your fitness up.

Take care my friend.
