I felt like Nancy Kerrigan today.

The dang right shin looked swollen & a little blue on the front. I made EVERYONE that sits around me look at it. "Yes, Lisa it's definitely swollen." It felt like Jeff Gillooly had hired a hit man to hit my shin with a baton. It's achy & tender to the touch. So, the hypochondriac in me called Dr. Stevens for an appt on Thursday at 2:50pm. (gee, why not just 3pm?) I hope to rule out a stress fracture. At the risk of sounding negative, that's probably next on the long list of injuries. It's been hurting off & on since Dec but not enough to alarm me so I'm guessing the hills recently have made it worse. Come to think of it, there was a monkey on the 11.2 with a baton Saturday or was that Jill because I did have on some pink shorts! ha!
I seriously hope it's just some swollen tissue/shin splint. If so, I'll take about 3-4 days straight off from running & then test it.

Tonight:
1 hr 5 min elliptical (moderately HARD, I was sweating)
free weights arms
some pilates & yoga ball crunches

Hannah & Jeff are finally back. Monday's plane was grounded in Tahiti so they had to take a much later flight bringing them to CA to spend the night there. I can't wait to hear the stories & see pictures. I mean, my gosh, she's started off with pics of her & Jeff Fisher checking in baggage! Excuse me but she's just a little close! ha!

My immediate Japanese boss came back from her long weekend in NYC. She brought me chocolates from Marie Belle. They are handpainted chocolates & fabulous!

Maybe it was Trent or Chuck... who hit you on the 11.2 But probably the monkey on MY back! Ha.

It's probably just a shin splint from running too fast and doing too many hills. Ice, Ice, R.I.C.E. a little and it will be Okie dokie.

If you can jump on that foot and it hurts...it's a stress fracture. If it aches at night...it's a stress fracture.

Does that help??

Yipes...you're right! She is very close. At first, I was thinking this was her new husband. Hilarious!
