It has now been 24 days since my stress fracture at Flying Pig Marathon. During that time Amber has logged well over 1,000 miles biking, 200+ miles running and recently won the Rock N Race in 18:05.
I on the other hand have been biking 30 minutes 4-5 days a week, using a bone stimulator and taking calcium pills and that's about it. Wait! I did go for a canoe ride the other day. And I am sure that will be all I need for this weekends' Pineland Farms 50 Miler.
50 Miles? Danny didn't you say you were going to be smart and let this thing heal?
Yes I did and I am. I am just planning on walking it, or as much of it as I can in the 13 hour time limit. I figure this way I can still get the post-race food and support the Acidotic and GCS runners, but more importantly so that I get some serious miles under my belt so I don't lose all of my fitness for Leadville.
My goal is to make it two full laps so 35 miles or so. We'll see...
