Last time I wrote on this blog was the day before SC 24 hour race, I was sick and heading into a 24 hour race on very little sleep and little hopes. I stopped around 15 hours around 79/80 miles, I did a lot of sitting around and contemplating why I was running that day. I left the race with zero hopes and wants on running any long distances like that again.... I had it set in my mind that I would stick to distances under 12 hours. And of course time passed and I was ready to take on a hundo (C&O Canal 100 and Sole Challenge 24 hour). Ugh. Begin to ran again, and had a nagging pain in my knee, did the things I needed to do, RICE, X-rays, MRI. Need up finding out I have a stress fracture in the bottom of my femur that was causing me to feel pain. So basically no running 6-12 weeks. This still gives me plenty of time to still train and run World Championships in Qatar in October. Now the real mental game of not running starts. It's been 10 days since I ran, this sucks and is bori...
