So I ordered some new Asics Gel Kayano 15s prior to my stress fracture diagnosis. My heart sank when they arrived. These are so snazzy:

Notice how the laces are contoured to the shape of your foot? I don’t know if it will make that much of a difference, but anyway! I am itching to break them in! Ugh. Have another week and a half before my dr. appointment. Hopefully I’m better and can get cleared for jogging on a treadmill or something.
I haven’t done much cross training lately. I was in a funk about not being able to run. The underwater treadmill just doesn’t do running justice, but when I think about it, I am so lucky and blessed to even have the ability to be so active. I have to stop focusing on the negative setback of a stress fracture and acknowledging how lucky I am and to be open to trying new things. Focus on what I can do. So. I have 2.5 hrs of spinning after my physcial therapy appointment this afternoon. Very pumped! I plan on bringing some sport beans to keep up my glycogen stores. I also bought some new biking pants which come heavily padded in the sit bones area! I’m excited!!
