According Dr. Patrick List of the Sports Medicine division of University Health Services, there are two kinds of people in this world: "one gets a hangnail and wants to cry to [him] about it; the other will run until his or her leg falls off." In his expert opinion, I fall into the latter category. His diagnosis? A severe sprain. His treatment plan? First, I have to admit I have a problem: namely, an addiction to running. Second, I "just have to stop" (presumably, stop running though injuries). And third, I must wear this mini-boot for three weeks and refrain from running. Unfortunately, my next race happens to be scheduled for three weeks from this weekend. However, it seems I have developed a peculiar pattern: (1) sign up for a race; (2) begin training; (3) get injured; (4) stop running; (5) run the race; and (6) repeat. The efficacy of this approach will be tested, yet again, in the weeks to come.
Da boot, da boot, da boot is not cute!!! (good thing you are) You are not going to be attracting the highest caliber of cabana boy with that thing on! Bring it to me and I will BEDAZZLE it & make it fabulous! ... xoxo Oh and this is precisely why I chose not to run...I prefer to eat w/o injuries!
