We had an awesome game of soccer last night! Except for the part where I was rolling around on the floor in pain. The good news is, I did not break any bones! Hooray for my 26-year "no broken bones" streak! The bad news is, I need to wear an air cast and take it easy for the next two weeks at least, so I am officially out of the 5K on Nov. 3.
I was pretty bummed this morning when I woke up and realized I probably needed to go to Med Point and that I probably would not be running my first race anytime very soon. My most recent training run, out in Pennsylvania farmland this weekend, surrounded by cornfields and mountains and a sunrise that glorified the autumn leaves, was quite inspiring and I was starting to get really excited about the Run Baby Baby Run. So at 7:00 this morning, after a sub-par night of sleep, realizing this Baby would not be Running was worthy of a few tears. But Anne helped me put things in perspective and really, things are not so bad. I'm not in much pain, I'll recover pretty soon, I may even be able to do the Turkey Trot race on Thanksgiving, and even if I'm not better in time for that, the world will not come to an end.
* But, it was still enough of an event to blog about. So you can post your sympathetic comments now. ;)

Sheila! So sorry for your pain, but you know this just goes to show you are a real athlete. Cross-training injuries happen to the big guys all the time.
Does this mean I won't be winning the big bucks I was going to bet on you placing in the 5K?
Sheila, I'm sorry! What a bummer about the race, but fortunately, there is always another race to be run!!
Be healed!
If I start running will my comments increase like yours? ;)
Hah...no one could pay me enough. Anyway, sorry you've been hurt. And sorry we missed each other. Had I known you were around Saturday night I would have come with Emily.
That was one vicious soccer game- I fractured my rib (I think.. self-diagnosis) in the same time frame.
Hope you feel better soon.
