I know that there is not much that can help cheer you up right now and that hearing others tell you to rest, take time to heal, etc isn't what you need to hear.. because i'm going through it too. I missed out on races last year due to stress fractures, and am missing out on one this weekend too... so I 'get it'. Feel free to email me anytime if you need to vent.

Stress fractures happen for a reason - they are not random. Somehow in your training you overloaded it through too much of distance, speed or both too quickly. I say this because I went through a series of recurring injuries for years before I realized what was happening and restructured my training. The result is that I'm at my highest mileage in years and have not pain at all. Use this time to your advantage and I'm betting you will be a much stronger athlete for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-78164028219871989022009-05-26T13:08:16.296-05:002009-05-26T13:08:16.296-05:00I tried to comment from home this weekend and my s...I tried to comment from home this weekend and my silly mac wouldn't let me. I just want to say I'm SOOO sorry, but I totally feel your pain. I have been there, being injured, missing out on a big race, changing plans.... being miserable because of it all! It's okay to feel miserable. Just hang in there, it will get better!

I went running Saturday before Mothers Day, then ended up in urgent care on M.D. leaving on crutches. I feel every word you write! I'm having running with drawls and realize now how much running was MY thing...and time away from chaos and family.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your rants.

These things take time to heal, so just give it time. you'll be back out there tri-ing before you know it.<br /><br />check out a book called "tri power" on amazon. i was battling something that might (or might not be) a stress fracture through the spring. I got on the tri power program and by strengthening my core it healed the leg right up. now i'm running with no pain (there). It could really help once you get back on your feet.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-31748821293271271802009-05-22T13:28:23.943-05:002009-05-22T13:28:23.943-05:00Oh no!!

And I feel terrible you can't do your events and that you won't have your family there when you do your tri in DC. Wow. I really wish I could do something to cheer you up, but I know that you're right - there isn't anything anyone can say to you right now that's going to really cheer you up.<br /><br />Rest up, take care of yourself, and talk to Beka about what to do while you're resting the leg, she's a pro.IzzyBubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913332040346444308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135891120424321481.post-25994816797052322982009-05-22T12:22:50.694-05:002009-05-22T12:22:50.694-05:00Ack!

I was diagnosed with a tibial stress fracture last year half-way through my marathon training. It was truly devastating.<br /><br />One piece of advice that I can offer is to try the best you can to maintain some semblance of fitness. I did not do that and it took me a good 4 months to get back to the beginnings of being in shape to start training. <br /><br />Rest up, wallow, enjoy the non-structure and take care of yourself.sneakersisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878396821365950500noreply@blogger.com
