Bad news...It appears that I may have a stress facture on my right tibia. Family doctor is pretty certain that that is the case. Will be seeing a orthopedic doctor hopefully this week but I am hesitant to train much till I see the orthopedic doctor. I'll probably do some time on the elyptical (?) trainer but avoid running for now. THIS REALLY SUCKS!

Sorry to hear about the probably injury...it does suck. Take it easy and see what the doc says then take it from there.

Hang in there buddy.

That really bites. Did this come on suddenly, or have you felt symptoms for a while?

Jeff - thanks for the support. I'm not looking foward to this but appears I haven't much of a choice.

Cal - I'm like most runners...just keep on running and it will go away. I've felt the pain in my lower tibia for about three weeks. Its about five inches from the top of my foot. I've run my best 20 miler in a long time with the pain so it wasn't excrutiating by any extent but it has been constant...and getting worse. We all say you have to listen to your body but as runners you get use to dealing with little aches and pains all the time so I just chalked it up as one of those nagging pains you just deal with.

Hope for you that it isnt a stress fracture and those Boston plans arent delayed. Good luck in your running pursuits
