Cute, right? NOT! Crappy accessory for the one month we Northwesterners can usually count on for good weather. Oh well!
Monday I got another cortisone shot, the boot and xrays. I'm in the boot for at least two weeks but maybe more. My doc called me yesterday to say that he doesn't think there are any fractures in the foot but that there was a "gray" spot on the xray or something so he wanted a second opinion. I'm supposed to hear from doc #2 today. Blah! At this point though I've decided that I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get better. I'm still allowed to swim, starting today but no running or cycling for the duration of the boot. The doc basically said that running is really out of the question until my foot is completely pain-free for at least a couple of weeks. He said when it starts to feel better I should still lay off since all running will do is bring the problem back. BOO!
Right after I got the shot and the boot, I went to the aiport for a work trip. Normally work trips are great but I really wasn't feeling great about traveling with the boot and a new shot in my foot. Turns out, it went just fine with only minor inconveinance. I knew I was going to Denver a few months ago so naturally I emailed with Aimee to see if she would be around. Meeting with bloggers while traveling is always fun! And, lucky for me not only was she in town but willing to drive from her home outside of Denver to meet me less than 2 blocks from my hotel. Yay!
We had a great time chatting away about training, life, food, weather. She is just as cute in real life! Thanks Aimee for meeting me! I'll be continuing to virtually cheer you on throughout your ironman journey!
Denver trip was great but as with all work trips it was exhausting! I got home on Wednesday evening super tired. Now we have company in town, Mr. Pi's friend from college and his girlfriend. Mr. Pi was amazing and cleaned the whole house yesterday morning so when I got home I had to do very little tidying. Mr. Pi really is the BESTEST! It's a huge pet peeve of mine to have a messy house when guests arrive. Today I'm working, working, working as of course, being away means I'm behind at work, even though my travel was FOR work...funny how that always happens though.
I'm sure we'll be off doing fun things this weekend despite the boot and it's limitations!

Sorry about the boot! I will send healing vibes your way.
Jealous you got to meet Aimee. We live in the same state and I haven't made it up to meet her yet. I should get on that!
I love boots too but not that style! Oh no. Heal up girl!
How cool you met Aimee!! Love her!
Sorry about the boot. Heal heal heal! I hope it does just what it should.
Sending you tons of healing thoughts!!
what a bummer about the boot! I've spent my fair share of time in one, so I totally understand how annoying it can be. You'll get used to it though (if you haven't already)! I'm sending good thoughts your way that you only have to spend two weeks with it.
Glad you had a great trip!! I really hope my job lets me travel someday.
Sorry about the boot. :( You wear it well! :)
Hopefully you at least got to do early boarding with that thing on. Blah!
Ah, I'm so sorry about your foot woes :( I am battling some strange nerve leg thing right now and it is super frustrating. Sending you tons of healing vibes!
You beat me to a post about our meet-up! I'm so glad we were able to meet!! I had so much fun talking to you!
:( So sorry to hear about the boot. Hubby wore the same one earlier this season and I know it's no fun. On the bright side, at least you got to meet Aimee! :) HUGS to you!
How fun that you got to meet up with Aimee! I just found you through her blog post today!
Hello from Portland :D
