Stress fracture after a 15 miler. Two weeks after a half marathon. September 2016 - - Didn't see a doctor until June 2017. Foolish. Bone was still broken. Went in a boot for two months. Bone healed. Tendon still sore. Saw podiatrist again in February. Got an Rx for PT. Been going since March twice a week. Been doing my PT. New insoles in work shoes and running shoes. Wearing shoes inside the house. Has good hours (not days) and not good times. Frustrating for sure.

I've been a follower of Vinnie Tortorich's No Sugar No Grains (NSNG) since June 2016. It's helped keep me lean even without being able to run a step.

The focus is now trying to hit the goal of 175. So that when I heal fully and get back on the roads I will be lighter and stronger. Also, my healing process will speed up bc my weight will be lighter and there will be less stress/strain on my foot and the tendon.

Easier said than done. Ice cream is my last vice. That and swearing. I don't get cravings for other items. Except Sour Patch Kids at the movies. I've heard I need to do 30 or even 60 days to lose the urge.
