Ok. I am currently recuperating from a fractured heel and both Plantars have been torn as well. This happened either leading up to the BAA half marathon or during the race, most likely before given that I ignore most pain and hope that it will go away.  I am guessing that I won't be running again until the end of January at the earliest. It has been 2 weeks since the diagnosis so I can start riding the stationary bike soon. More to come. The picture above is me on the right with Sergei, a great guy that I used to work with until I took a new job in July of 2011. I finished the 1/2 marathon in 2:10 while Sergei managed to clock in around 1:45. Bastard is 25 years my junior so I will give him that.
