Dirty Half - Dude Thousand Nine!

I jacked up my foot running up Leif Erickson a while back and recently learned that I broke my foot, so I've been gimping around in an Aircast boot. I rested my foot after the incident, but it didn't get any better making running and training for the Dirty Half painful. The doctor, after looking at the x-ray fit the boot on my foot and the boot was so nice, it isolated the heal area and my mood immediately improved. I've been wearing the boot for about 3 weeks, I wore it up to Bend to hang-out and stuff during the Dirty Half weekend with Nate and Amy.


Great time, but really boring just sitting around during the race, oh well - I got these really cool pair of socks for helping set up tables and tents before the run.

This photo is attached to show the ugly car that Nate was forced to rent for the week and whose outlandish color was the driving force behind him getting a speeding ticket as we were driving over to Bend.

Relating to the injury: had a follow up with my doctor last week and he felt my foot and prodded in a few places, he told me that I could start wearing a really nice sport's brace and taper off the boot and taper in the brace - then eventually slowly resume light activity. Which is great!
