Close twice...

Two times I’ve done the time. Run the miles. Put in the work.

Two weeks before race time – I fell down the stairs holding my two little girls. Strained the cuboid joint in my right foot. No running for 3 weeks.

Three weeks before race time – I ran a 6mi easy run. Went for a walk with the family. Came back home, took a shower, intense pain in my shin. Stress fracture – tibia. No running for 6 weeks.

Here we go again. I am running 3-5 miles 4 times per week. Over the next two months, I’ll increase this to 5-6 miles 5 times per week. Then the training plan starts. Slow and easy this time. Race is in November.

Let’s see if third time is a charm…
