After some rather intense pain last week in my right foot, I responded with two things: 1) get a new pair of shoes and 2)go to the doctor. I made an appointment with Dr. Jagger at UK, a guy I got to know from my playing days. He took some x-rays and did some poking around and concluded that I had some “impressive inflamation” of a tendon in my foot. Well, this was good news to me! I had feared that this pain may result in a stress fracture that could possibly end my training. While I wouldn’t mind a day or two off, that would be devastating. So doc said to eat a bunch of ibuprofen and hit the foot with some ice and maybe get a little cross training on a bike to give the tendon a breather now and then. All in all, a very positive visit. Oh yeah, I ran 4 before the visit that were pretty uneventful. A little later today, I was able to attend a very inspiring ceremony, watching one of my best friends Dallas Greer graduate from the KY State Police Academy. I have no doubt the state will be a better place with Trooper Greer on the roads keeping us safe.
Talk at you later.
