Big day planned. Going out of town to do our Ho, Ho, Ho shopping for the kids. So I got up early for a 6 mile run. Then it was off to Richmond to the malls. By the end of the day my feet hurt so bad. Especially the middle toe and ball of my left foot. But overall it was a good day. My wife and I were able to get most of the stuff we had hoped to. Even better we did not even argue once all day, and even found time to have a nice dinner together. When I got home I went for another run. This time I was in a hurry to get it done. So I went pretty close to all out. Hopefully legs can handle it.

Scott, I am also recovering from a stress fracture. It was my first injury in 5 years and it still baffles me. Where was your stress fracture? Are you as paranoid as I am about it reoccurring?

Mine was in my left femur at about the midpoint. Yes, even during my recovery I felt every twinge and wondered if it was healing or getting worse. Now that I am running again I am "feeling" everything and still wondering. I always will be more cautious with any lingering pain. I plan on backing off when something sticks around for too long. Better to be safe than sorry.

I remind myself of a quote I heard a long time ago. "Athletes know the difference between when it just hurts versus an injury."
