mileage dropoff

Today marks two weeks from when I visited the doctor and she told me to cut my training in half. In the past two weeks I have only run a total of 25 miles, whereas if I had not fractured my stupid leg (or whatever I have done to it) I would have run 45.5 miles. So although it appears that I have run a little more than half my normal mileage, I have done no weekend long runs in more than a month. I’m supposed to be up to 7.5 by this weekend, and I haven’t even run as much as 5 miles since August 7. My leg doesn’t really feel all that much better so now I have to decide whether to go back to the doctor or not. She’ll surely send me for a horribly expensive MRI. I KNOW my leg is messed up; do I really need an MRI to confirm that? I think that maybe I should just continue my training to the best of my ability, being sure to listen to what my leg is telling me on any given day. Ice, heat, stretching, and being careful. And completing that fucking half marathon in December even if I have to walk halfway.

Before I forget, I must give credit for the name of my new blog site (Something Shiny Disorder) to my good friend Brittney, who as far as I know, coined the phrase for that lack-of-focus feeling. Hey! Something shiny! That’s really pretty, I think th—Oh look over here! Something shi—Wait, look over there! It’s something shiny! My life is kinda like that.
