This morning I headed to the doc for my third follow-up appointment for the ol' stress fracture...
So nervous!!!
And after what has felt like FOREVER (17 weeks since injury or 106 days since my last run, not that I've been counting or anything...) being “Crutchers, Boot-a-licious, Gimpy, Draggers, Hobbleton, Hobbles, etc”...

Because nothing is classier at a wedding than a boot right?
I am finally DONE with crutches, boots, and feeling like an invalid. NO MORE DAS BOOT!!!
Because I have been out of the game far longer than expected I was not however, cleared for running quite yet. I begin PT tomorrow and will hit that up 2-3 times a week for the rest of the month. I was also given clearance for all forms of xtraining, including going for walks. I return for one last follow up appointment on August 4th and then we talk running, training, and getting me back on track. It wasn't quite the news I was hoping for but I'll take it. One more month, I can do this. Spring marathon here I come!!!

thank God!!! you poor thing! So glad it is over for yoU!!
Excellent news. Very happy for you. Best of luck with the PT and rehab.
It is great news! Seeing the light at the end of this path will make all the difference. The time will go so quickly. Use PT to get stronger and finish healing because all the wonderfully hard be secretly you love it training will await you in a month!
I am sorry that you can not begin running as expected!! But at least you can start to get your sweat on and ditch the boot!! That IS GREAT news!! Good luck with PT!
Great start to the week!! Love reading this good news! Enjoy the cross-training now, because I'm sure you won't have an ounce of patience for it once you can RUN. ;)
Awesome news! That is a step in the right direction!
WAHOOO!! That's great news! Congrats!
Piss of boot! We are SO happy to be done with your sorry behind. ;)

Half WOOT!
You'll get the full Woot after your first run!
That is awesome! You are finally on the road back to running! Summer is going to fly and you will be back soon!
Das Boot can suck it!!
Spring marathon you say... How about a winter half to help you train? Surf City on Super Bowl Sunday is a great race. It will be smack in the dead of winter so 60 degree weather and a beach won't seem so bad then. Plus I'm likely doing the half so we can run together :)
I am so happy you get to kick Das Boot in the butt! Cant wait to read about all your upcoming miles! Congrats!! :)
YAY!!! I knew it! I knew it!!! :) Best news ever!!! :) Doing a happy dance here! Oh yeah! :)
Congrats on the bill of health...
Yay! this is such great news, so happy for you. Can't wait til you can start running again. P.s. you should definitely toss that boot into a campire and say good bye!
Yay!!!!! I love walks and shopping!!!! Would love to see you!!!
Good news Red!! Let the ceremonial burning of Das Boot begin!
GOOD RIDDANCE BOOT! Sooooo happy for you!!!!
HORRAY!! That is so awesome. I'm so happy.
I have to ask, why are you pointing to your chest in that one pic of you in the green top? :)
great news!
High Five!!!! Awesome!!!
Yay! Best news of the day! So glad you are making a step in the right direction!
This is great! Of course you rocked that boot like no other but I can imagine you are thrilled to be done with it!!
Awesome Morgan! A HUGE step in the right direction. Now go get on a bike and ride your brains out!
No more das boot!!! Hooray, girl!!! This totally sucks that you can't just hop right off that xray table and go for a run, but it's probs for the best (ugghh) as to not take two steps forward and three steps back. SOON you'll be back and oh man, I can't wait to hear how your first run back goes :)
Not the news you wanted but check out Gunzy McGillicuddy there.
Man the torpedoes Red is bringing the heat with the biceps....
It will all be over soon and running will then consume your life once again....
Great to hear! Enjoy getting back to working out!
Sounds like you are like me now, doing physical therapy and cross training a lot. Be ready for some of the physical therapy exercises to be tough, and mentally tough too. Recovery is tough. Physical therapy seems like a chore sometimes to me, but at least you can now move.
Good luck with getting back!
106 days, bless your heart! I really admire your positive attitude and you "will do" spirit. So excited that you are outta that boot tho!!! You are going to do amazing things!
That's great news, yeah!
Doing the happy dance for you! That is the best news!!!
Such wonderful news!!!
Progress! A very very good thing...
Awesome news on NO MORE DAS BOOT! Good luck on the PT. Crossing my fingers for your follow-up visit. That's the same day as my R2R (Return to Running) day. It would be awesome to see you running again too (but no marathons yet!)
Yay for getting rid of the boot!!! You're legs making progress!! Wahoo! :)
You'll be running in no time! And listen to Miss Zippy - go "ride your brains out" :)
