My recovery from a badly bruised foot is slowing and systematically proceeding in the right direction. Yesterday I had an appointment with the Orthopeic doctor and he ruled out any type of fracture (with x-rays) so I have clearance to resume running.
It has been 11 days since I ran - I've stuck to cross training on the stationary bike and I have respected my rest days. I have to admit that I am apprehensive but excited at the same time. I'll stick to a more controlled environment by running on the treadmill this morning. My objective is to run at least 4 miles at an easy pace today. I'll see where that leads me.
The Marine Corps Marathon is just 4 1/2 weeks away. I should be at the peak of my training program at this point leading up to my final 3 week taper. I am going to have to make some creative adjustments to my program but I want to see how this morning goes before I get too crazy!
Safe Running Folks!
John
