Doc says it’s not SF, but anterior tibialis tendon. Will see a PT on the 30th. Doc said I could try some easy miles.

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Thanks, Holly!

Rocket City Marathon, December 8.
The plan is for 43.5 but we shall see. With holiday travel, you never know, right? So far I'm on track with about 11 & also on track to reach my annual goal of 1800. I thought 1800 in '18 had a nice ring to it.
update: only 21.3 miles because when I was doing a MP workout at my sister-in-law's in Ft. Smith, AR on Friday, I got injured. My left hip started feeling uncomfortable, then painful, so naturally I stopped running hard. Running easy didn't help so I stopped that quickly & walked back. It's getting better this week.
