Foot Update AND Solve My Tree Maze

Being laid up with an injured foot means lots of time sitting around. A few days ago I took advantage of my being unable to walk around and drew a maze. Check it out:

Crap. An Injury Nine Days Before My Next Race.

How was your weekend? I spent most of mine in bed or on my couch. I had to, because I woke up on Friday with unbearable pain in my foot.

My left foot looks completely normal, right? There’s no swelling, redness, or bruising. And yet as soon as I

How Many Updates Can I Fit In One Post?

Lots of little updates today. I’m gonna talk about exercising, my goals, stair climbing, and more. I even have a malicious molasses update, so why dilly-dally? Let’s get started!

Solution: Time to find a skyscraper to train in! The other night, I did just that.
