Update

This is the start of week #5 since I injured my foot. It is healing, but not as fast as I'd like it to. I saw the doctor on Monday and he reminded me that this is a "big" injury, not as big as my pelvis thing, but still something big. An ultra sound showed that the tendon is still partially torn. That's no surprise because pretty much every step I take reminds me of that! The good thing is that it is the off season which means that the main focus is resting up for next season. I still have to do light workouts like spinning on the trainer/exercise bike, running on the alter-g treadmill and doing the elliptical--to keep the blood flowing to my foot. I've also started doing some stenghening exercises, lifting weights and pilates.

Watching the marathon on Sunday was a huge inspiration to do everything I can to make this thing better. We went out to Brooklyn (mile 7.5) before the race started and chalked up a few blocks with authentic Livestrong Tour de France yellow chalk (that we got at the stages art opening the night before!). We watched about 30,000 people go by and then ducked into an Aussie Bar/Restaurant to catch the pro finishes on TV. When Meb crossed the finish line, bars all over the city erupted, just like they did last night when the Yankees won.
