This morning I received a call from the Podiatrist's office with the MRI preliminary results. It appears at first glance that I have a stress fracture on my Calcaneus (heel bone). 
I'm not really sure what this means to my race in 2 weeks, but I have a feeling it doesn't look good. The doctor plans to call me this afternoon and I'd expect I'd get the "What not to do" talk from him at that time.
One good thing that the nurse said when she called this morning is that I can still bike and swim.
When I look back on the past couple of weeks I began to realize that my pain threshold may be slightly higher than the normal athlete or person. Basically I've don’t a 12 mile run and even a 16 mile run recently all while having a stress fracture in my foot.
I guess if there were any good news to come out of this it's that it's still early in the season and I can hopefully rebound in time for Eagleman and Placid….and I can still keep my fitness with biking and swimming. I have to wait and see what Mark says and see what he thinks my season strategy should be given this will take 4-6 weeks to heal…
