Well...I decided it would not be prudent to run today, despite my need to get at least 4 miles in. It was windy and cold and I was all too happy to "cop out", if you will, on today's run.... I found a podiatrist that I wanted to see today, Richard Bronfman, at the Jacksonville Foot Clinic. But, alas, he was booked until next Thursday. I asked the receptionist to notify me ASAP if there was a cancellation. I was hoping to get some feed back from him before heading to the Memphis Half, about my foot issues. He is a member of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine and has lots of experience dealing with runners and their foot issues. I thought about seeing someone else, but I would really rather deal with someone who knows more about running injuries, etc. I called back to get an appt. and was dismayed to discover that while I was deciding what to do, the appts. for next week had filled up and I would not be able to see him until December 18th! Oh well....I made the appt. anyway...
Cheryl and I talked some about what to do and she thought it best as well to wait for the "expert". We chatted excitedly about Saturday and even though I am apprehensive...I am much more comfortable with allowing myself to finish however I need to, walking or not.....fast or not... We are staying at Aunt Martha's and she is excited to have us! She said that there is a Panera that was just opened down the road from her, so looks like all of us, even Kim, will be able to eat....
Tonight will be filled with packing and resting my foot/ankle. I'm not sure what to wear yet...the weather will probably be in the 30's with a slight wind...but I am planning to wear shorts anyway...as long as I have enough layers on top, I'm usually ok...Well, new post to come after the Half!

I have seen Dr. B! He put me in my current orthotics. He'd still be my doc, but when the downtown clinic closed I had to change docs (weird!) so I now see Dr. Clark (before I moved away, that is).
I hope Memphis went well for you!
