Let's just say the last four months have been eventful!
Pensacola Double Bridge 15k was an adventure. Temps were okay. However, the wind was brutal. The foot pain from earlier in January returned....with a vengeance. So, I wasn't too pleased with my performance. I decided it was best to visit the doctor to get the foot checked. X-rays and tests were inconclusive. But, he felt it was a stress fracture and gave me the option of an MRI or not. I chose "not" and took about 7 weeks off from running. Thankfully, this appears to have done the trick. I've been able to run for the last several weeks with NO PAIN!!!
In the break, I missed out on running the Publix Half Marathon and the Pensacola Beach Marathon. I'll just put the Pensacola Half on the schedule for next year (I must have that medal!)
On the plus side, I was able to register for a few upcoming runDisney events. I'll be heading out to Anaheim to run the Disneyland Half in early September. When I return, I will have just under 4 weeks until the Tower of Terror 10 miler @ WDW. In addition to those two races, I also convinced myself I was ready to tackle the Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge during Marathon Weekend. My training schedule has a half marathon on the calender, which conveniently falls during Wine & Dine Half weekend. So, I'll most likely take a quick weekend trip for that one. Besides, it will qualify me for the Coast to Coast medal.
The ToT trip will be a fun one, as there will be family and a group of Moose friends there that week. I'll be able to see some friends again and meet some others for the first time.
