Too much damn STRESS...

Well, we all know how busy we all are with kids, work, life, etc. I guess my body did not like the running because now I have a STRESS fracture in my left tibia located directly under my left knee.....that must be why it hurt so darn much when I continued to run on it. Who would have thought? The real question is why a relatively healthy 31 yr old female would get a stress fracture while only running 4 miles...not like it was that far. Hopefully, it was just bad shoes. Now I have a nice pair of stability shoes that will sit in the closet for 6 WEEKS while I pound down the Vit D and Calcium supplements. Boy, this is going to be tougher than it was going to be before. Do you think I will make it 13.1 miles with only 2 months training time.....we will see! Wish me luck!

I said it before, you are too tiny to have knee problems. Maybe you are meant to be the marketing partner in this venture, not the runner?? Either way, good luck : )
