Tuesday 12-18-07

I want to give an update of my visit to Dr. Jacobs concerning my feet pain. (Incidentally, he is an excellent Podiatrist if anyone in Columbus should need to go to one.) He x-rayed each foot and determined there were no stress fractures and no signs of plantar fascitis. But, he did say I needed to let the dogs rest for several weeks because I basically "blew a tire" running the marathon. So, for four weeks there will be no running. I am going to have to find other things to do aerobically to stay in shape. He suggested swimming, elliptical machine. Any ideas? I guess my plans to train for another marathon in the early spring must be postponed. I have time. What is the hurry? My main focus now will be keeping the holiday pounds from creeping back on me.

Hope the feet get better. My wife and I want to travel for our first and we are looking at possibly attending the Rock-n-Roll Arizona Marathon in January 2009.

Andy,

Get back in the pool and work out hard! Triathlon season is right around the corner. Your feet will be fine in a couple of weeks.
