Bottom of the ninth

At least that is how I feel today. I'm going to see a new ortho today with hopes of getting some sort of answer/game plan outside of, "I really don't know what to tell you. Why don't you take like a year off and see what happens". I understand that medicine is "practice" but you would think that I could get a little more time and understanding than that!

On a related note, i did some core and hip over the weekend, but definitely slacked off a little too. I ate some halloween candy and generally took most of the weekend as downtime. It was good though, and I don't regret it. I also tried to jog the grass on the side of my house and it wasn't bad at all. I don't really know what that means, but hopefully I will get something this morning.

One final thought: Couldn't help but get incredibly choked up watching Meb yesterday afternoon. I watched the entire race, texting back and forth with Matty. We knew he looked good, but when he made that move in Central Park, i knew it was over. NYC is one of the toughest marathon courses I have run so far, and if you see a runner picking it up in the park, they are having a great day. Very exciting day to be an American runner yesterday! I also got some sparks of positivity (is that a word) from watching the people finish after the elites. Made me remember what that was like, and more importantly, it made me feel like I wanted to do it again. Meb also spoke at length about his injuries and fracture, and it made me relate to him heavily. I just hope i can comeback even a fraction of what he has.
