Updates

First thing is first. Drinking a gallon of water a day is hard! I've done it for a couple days in a row. I find myself liking my breaks more and more throughout the school day. 4 more days!

Next, the doctor I went to see today gave me a good report. She said I probably had some tendonitis in my foot. I was then told, welcome to the world of running. This aparently is a fairly common occurrence that I didn't know about. Upon some examining, she determined that there was no long-term risk for me running the race this weekend. She did say there might be some discomfort afterward, or possibly during, but that I wouldn't be doing any damage to my body. I felt that her assessment of my foot was fair and I trust her. Aparently this is something I might have to get used to.

Matt, I can say with a big smile on my face, "This is going to be quite the memorable experience!"

Oh, Eric! I truly hope you have fun running and don't have any pain during or after the race. Be careful. I love you very much.

Eric, we're so proud that you completed another marathon! I'm so glad that your foot wasn't something more serious. It does sound like it could be an irratating long term thing, though. I hope you're getting rested up today.
