A Stress Fracture ... It Is Not

Well, I should say that it isn't likely. The good doctor, who is a fellow runner, said that it can be one of three things:

Gout - not likely because of my age, and the quasi-regular and generally healthy diet

Stress Fracture - not likely because it wouldn't heal quit as quickly as it is healing, and I would definitely remember what I did that made it happen

Myopersomethingorother Sprain - a ligament in the area of the big toe that is in some type of distress

It should be fine in about two weeks. If not, then I will be taking a trip to a Podiatrist where an x-ray will be administered, and a local shot will be given if the images show that a stress fracture isn't the cause of my grief. If it is a stress fracture, then my right foot will be in some kind of a rubber boot type contraption until it gets better.

And there's MORE good news.

I can continue running ... but only on a treadmill. It stinks that I have to miss out on these gorgeous days that are simply PERFECT for running, but I can't complain too much.
