Notes
It's been almost 5 weeks since I've had a decent run. Some days I can hardly walk. I had x-rays and was told I had to see a specialist because I had abnormalities in my foot. My appointment with the specialist isn't until the 26th so I have at least another two and a half weeks of dealing with this shit.
To me that is the most frustrating part about being an injured distance runner, the lack of urgency in treatment by the medical staff. I was always pissed when the athletic trainers would try to put me on a ice and rest regime for a week before doing any real treatment. Seriously, what the fuck, it was like they thought we were enjoying a vacation from running. Just hook my up to some e-stim, ultrasound, or whatever you have to do to get me on the roads yesterday.
