It's a Forfeit..

So I'm writing to let you know that I will not be running this weekend.  I cannot tell you my frustration with this.  First of all I got the dates all mixed up, but that's no big deal I was still going to go... but then this happened:

I was running out of my cousin's house on Monday (in flip flops) and a loose tile on her porch gave way and the edge came crashing down on my foot.  I know it doesn't look bad, but I can't tie my shoelaces tight on top of it. Which in turn means I cannot run.  I know it doesn't look bad in the photo, but truthfully it's painful and I don't know if its fractured/bone bruise. or what, so I'm not going to risk it.

Talledega Half-Marathon in 2013 will be my victory lap for the 12th consecutive half.

I am disappointed that my first half will not be this weekend, but that doesn't mean my journey hasn't already began.  Appalachicola here I come!A little rest and barefoot exercise on the elliptical will get me back to where I need to be until I can tighten my laces!

I will say I have been training my dad for the past few weeks and he's lost 8lbs!  GO DAD!!!

Until next time...
