A true off season

All I want for Christmas is my 2 good feet!
Yesterday, I missed my second Sunday Run in a row ending 2 weeks without a run. As nice as it is to sleep in on a Sunday, it's no fun sitting around wishing I was out in the fresh air, earning some brunch points!No exercise is strange when you've been on a good run with no injuries or health issues like I have. I covered well over 2000 miles in 2009 and there was only one week I ran less than 3 days. Most weeks were 5 days, some 6 and a some 7.
December was supposed to be a high easy mileage base building month and January was to begin my toughest training schedule so far. Now, I am thinking of a start back program as opposed to launching into a marathon training program. I want to run a strong Spring Marathon and was hoping Boston would be the one but that is only 16 weeks away and I am not yet ready to test this slowly healing toe. Maybe I will make Boston a tune up race and go hard at Mississauga again.We'll see how well I bounce back
The toe injury is 2 weeks old today, and almost as sore as day one. Everyone I talk to who has experienced broken toes is saying 6+ weeks of healing and still, after those 6 weeks they had pains and soreness.
Cross training will be key here. I need to get disciplined and get out on the bike or to the pool. The holiday season, a cold, and busy days at work are not helping the cause.
Some may like these excuses and enjoy the downtime. I am just glad they all happened at once.
If you are one of the few people reading this, get out there and run a loop for me. I will join you as soon as I can!

Hard to keep up with LEFT RIGHT REPEAT!!
I know after running 12k yesterday with RR 1/2 marathon group it is a great feeling to be back after shin splints.
You are right Dave the xtraining will be key & if you focus on what you can do & not what you can't, you will get through this as a stronger person.
Will run some for you.

I hear you Dave.Haven't been done a proper run since NYC and haven't really been doing any serious cross training. It's frustrating but I guess after 4 years with no real break my body must need this.
It won't be pretty when I get back to it in 2010 (hopefully). Hang in there!!!.
