So I decide to make an appt. with the Sports Medicine Dr. for peace of mind. My hope was that she would say "it's just shin splints" and send me on my way.
Well, I guess she saw an abnormality in the x-ray so she sent me for an MRI yesterday and put me in this lovely boot.

I probably won't have any answers until tomorrow about whether or not I am going to be able to run the marathon. I haven't counted myself out yet, but I am prepared if I can't run it.
It would be very disappointing if I couldn't run it, but I know it's not my fault. I didn't overtrain. I did everything I was supposed to. My only regret right now is that maybe I shouldn't have done the 30k for my first marathon. That probably wasn't a good idea.
Oh well, live and learn. I will run it next year if I can't do it this year! I still want Pittsburgh to be my first marathon experience.
