Sad day in the life of a runner...

Well....I haven't posted much about my running or condition lately but I have been resting for the last week due to some foot pain. It was caused by a mixture or trying to run to far in new shoes and also running far in general. Also it is the foot that I had a stress fracture on a few years ago. So, sadly today, I tried to run again after a week of rest and it still was slightly painful. Instead of paying for an xray that was going to tell me to rest for a while and the possibility of a stress fracture, I decided that I would "call it" myself and take 6 weeks of rest from running to let it heal. Very sad but in good spirits and going to try be motivated to do lots of yoga and weight training. Still hard cause I do enjoy my running, my running buddies, and my stress release. Life goes on and things could be worse. No marathon for me unless I decide to walk. hmmmm....
