NurseMother says I have "stress sprains." Today, my left foot also turned that yellow.going.to.bruise color and felt almost as bad as my right foot, but not quite. Its most worse in the mornings. During my runs in the past few weeks, my shins, calves and feet would hurt but I just thought it was normal aches and pains from running. Who knew there were such things as "stress sprains?" Or perhaps in a worst-case scenario they are even stress fractures. Regardless of what they are or how they came about, I'm praying that they will go away or at least subside just enough to get me through Secret City. I know they will. I have asked the good Lord to get me through this and He will.
I'm just so bumfuzzled about all this. I had no idea you could get such things, much less that what I was doing would cause such. This week will be interesting. LOTS of ice on the schedule.
Dear LadyFriend,
ReplyDeleteI am positive that no one doubts your ability...but maybe these aches/pains/fractures/strains/pulls/splints are Someone's way of telling you you might not be meant to do this.
That has been on my mind, and I just HAD to say it.
I'm worried about you!
How bout a good parable? Here goes,
Chuck(my fiance) has been married once before. NOT good times for him. Before the ceremony even started, he and his dad were standing outside the Church waiting. When it was time to go in, they found that they had been locked out. Sometimes I think He teaches us through signs;).
I truly hope you make it to the race, but be sure and listen for Him along the way.
Love you!
Haha! Poooor Chuck. That's hilarious. I'm gonna get my Secret City t-shirt for trying! I may not get my finishing medal but by gahlee, I'm gonna go try. My distance running days are over just as soon as I finish Secret City, I promise! Thanks girlie! Love you!
