1) I had my follow-up appointment for my stress fracture yesterday. I was feeling so positive when the doctor pressed on it and it felt tender but not "shoot me through the ceiling" painful. I was sent for more x-rays...
and it's still fractured.
BAH!. It's HEALING...it's just not HEALED.
Four more weeks of no running. Makes me happy I DNFed last weekend. It also makes me wonder how close to a full break I actually was.
In other news - apparently on my first x-rays there was also a visible bone spur at my Achilles. Fun times. I imagine they'll be watching that pretty closely going forward.

2) I started a little yoga challenge with myself on Monday. I need to heal and get some flexibility back and as much as I hate to admit it - I need the yoga. So, we'll have to see how this goes, but with four more weeks of no running, I think I need to take some time for self care and see if I can build some sort of practice that will help me when/if I am able to run again.
I may even venture into a class at some point...probably when we are at the resort.

3) Nine more sleeps until my vacation. Can I sleep until it gets here? I am so ready to go and just be off my feet for a whole week!
I think I have officially run out of things we need to buy for this trip. Hubby is probably happy about that.
I am also insanely happy for the long weekend this week! My plan is to be completely packed by Monday so I won't need to do anything else for the trip except grab the suitcases and go.
