Accessory to the crime. Just look how dirty that thing is. Screams criminal.
How can I be such a klutz? I got through a long spring racing season with minimal ITB issues, no colds or illnesses, otherwise all healthy. That is until three days before my last race before the Fall. Oh well, at least I keep things interesting.
Thank goodness for the plethora of sports medicine docs in my hometown. One was able to squeeze me into his schedule yesterday. I was begging him to just please drain it. Little did I know the technology has vastly improved from my athletic training days. He whipped out this little tool, drained out the blood, and instant relief. Woohoo!
So, the verdict for today. I'm guilty as charged of being a klutz. The iPad will get a thorough cleaning for being a dirty accessory to the crime. And the poor victim looks like rather black, blue, and green, but is otherwise healing nicely. I just hope for a decent recovery before 7 am tomorrow.
And because I am a nerd, just how many times will toe hit the ground over the course of a half marathon?
90 foot strikes on the left per minute X 120 minutes to complete a half = 108,000 hits.
Wish me luck.

Ouch! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they had things that could help an injury like that. I just thought you had to wait it out. Good to know.
