But its hard to know you've got to take over 50,000 steps on an injured foot and be on it somewhere between 4.5-5 hours.

I think it might have been easier to accept had it occurred sooner, even though I still would have been very sad. It is very hard to read what others are saying. It's not their fault, and I wish them well, it's just a huge reminder of my shortcoming.

So I was running in ignorance (though I did know.) After that I did stop running until it was healed. And started back slowly..even only ran 7 miles of a half and walked the rest. I am now very paranoid about overuse and getting another.

Please don't call it a training fail. How could you possibly have known to do something differently? I LOVE that you're seizing the opportunity and doing what you CAN do, and got a gorgeous bike. Big, big hugs to you, my friend. I know I'll see you in Chicago another time.
