Go or No Go?

The situation is serious - foot still hurts - we are approaching the point where my cardiovascular will start to decline - we are only three weeks before the race, technically close to taper time. So is it over?

Suddenly my PT seems to be taking the situation seriously. She was late and I made her feel embarrassed about it; and she decided I had to run the race when I let her know the race snaked throught the giant redwoods (sources of motivation are often personal and unexpected).

This morning Simone pursued two courses of action: corticoids delivered via cataphoresis; and metatarsal pads to see if I can isolate the injured area while running.

We have 40-knot winds this morning, but I am about to go run a few miles with two different pads and see what happens.

Expect a go/no go decision on Saturday...
