Too much discomfort.

bike 30 mins, efx 10 mins both are boring.

day 7

very slow, bit better than yesterday but not worth trying yet.

staying positive, mentally yesterday was one of the toughest days ever but even that is not that bad.

still picturing sept 27

1 mile yesterday, pain every step so I got off.

Biked 45 mins and did some p90-x.

Sept 27th Scotia marathon is officially done unless I get the green light from the big guy tonight and I am ready tomorrow.

Really sore today but at the same time I still think I am close to running, different pain, will get an MRI this week if I don't change to narrow down which muscle/tendon is teared.

Boy to I miss the feeling of a long run and sub 6 min 10k's.  I am blessed to have experienced this and I look forward to enjoying those days even more which I know will make me a stronger runner than present.

Staying positive.

still pain

running in the pool, some bike and p90x.  boy do i miss running.

although only 1.5 at 10 min pace I felt like it was a tiny bit better but still too painful.

Ran in the pool for 1 hour, great workout.

Bike trainer for 30 mins, good sweat, like the bike.

Some cardio with p90x with Sar until the kicks which was too much for the injury.

Feeling good about the x-training and still hoping one day soon I wake up with no pain.

Scotia will take a miricle and even if I was healed I can't afford to run a marathon unless I am ready for sub 3.

Great family day.

did not try today.

ran 1 hour in the pool, form is pretty simililar actually has to be helping.

p90x core tonight or some bike.

lots of pain this afternoon but a bit different always looking at the positive.

sometimes i just can't believe this is happening to me.

felt great this morning until i got onto the tm.

discouraged beyond words.

getting an mri this week.

going to stop with the entries for awhile until i can run again, just too hard to see what everyone else is doing and seeing my calendar empty with miles is depressing.

i will fight back but a break is the only way, time to get to know the bike.

3.4 miles too many this week.

Requested an MRI yesterday and was able to get one by noon helps to know someone in the hospital world.

I have a sacral stress fracture (sacral ila)  It is very rare but happens with distance runners.  Because I knew the radiologist we were really interested in the mri pictures because it was so evident I was actually quite interested because I am a chiropractor then I realized it was my pictures I was looking at!  Anyway I can't run for 4-6 weeks, all the little half mile's over the last 2 weeks I have been trying have not been worth it so it helps to have a correct dx because I was sure it was a torn glute muscle.

I have found a great pool running program so I am pretty happy because its really a great workout, today I did a 25 minute tempo run (hard) and I found that to be much harder than a 5 mile race.  The study shows you can keep your vo2 max and conditioning up while in recover mode so I have nothing to loose.

I am not going to log my pool runs on the computer because I still don't like looking at my empty running schedule.

So to all you who are running a marathon this fall best of luck and my sub 3 will have to wait until Boston unless I sneak a secret marthon in Nov/Dec.
