Excuse Me

I never broke bones growing up. I had a bump, a bruise, a scrape and cried a few tears but that was the extent of my injuries. When I was 5 I busted my lower lip and needed stitches...that stunk. I busted my knee at work once and had to have it scoped, not fun.

After a car accident I had a sling and that put a cramp in my style. I took a spill on the ice a couple times and strained a knee. And last year I had fell on the ice and hurt my back. I was in bed for a few weeks dealing with that pain.

And a few weeks ago on my birthday, I broke the middle finger on my right hand. You would be surprised at how much you rely on that one little finger.

All in all I have managed to succeed in being relatively injury free.

Until now.

My great plans to run that 5k have been dashed. On Friday after my run I had this pain in my leg and I thought maybe I had stepped wrong or something. I kinda brushed it off in that moment. A few minutes later I couldn't brush it off. On my way home I was in tears pushing the clutch in and letting it out. Something was very wrong.

I am so upset! It hurts like crazy and being up on it too much kills. So guess who broke their leg? If you guessed me, you would be right. I have a stress fracture in my left leg. I am super bummed.

So this means no 5k in May. BUT it does not mean that I am not doing a 5k. I just have to push it back a few months. I have to wait about 8 weeks before I can run again so I am just doing low impact starting next week, depending on my leg. Weights with the upper body until I can do anything that is weight bearing. I am so annoyed. I really just want to run!

So, excuse me as I complain. I think that maybe this time, it is truly warranted.

Oh, and be watching Modern Eclectics for a giveaway or two...
