Well, I was able to go for a second four mile run for the week. First was on Monday but I didn’t post about it. The foot pain is subsiding, enough that I canceled my follow up doctor’s appointment in two days. But it’s still there. I really doubt I’d be able to do my long run on Saturday, which would be like the third that I have missed. At this point, I’m thinking that I probably couldn’t get my training back on track in such a manner that I’d be able to enjoy the marathon at the beginning of November. And I’d probably risk further injury.
The part that makes the maddest? The fact that I’m already registered and I’ll be out the money! Sure, I can probably do the half, but I doubt I would have picked the Monumental Marathon.
Maybe I’ll look around for a Marathon in Kentucky or someplace else nearby, and to the south a bit, in December. Kinda start my training over again. We’ll see.
