All of a sudden I’m a yogi and/or swimmer for 6 weeks

Success comes with a price, in this case a calcaneus stress-fracture. Ex-runner Mark, in reference to my then-upcoming MRI, warned that my cycling fitness was probably working against me: my cardio & legs were more prepared than my dainty skeleton. My 5 year old New Balance kicks probably weren’t helping, especially since last year I half melted the soles while drying them in a fire. Hiking ruins everything.
Since I don’t have any pain while walking or biking I dodged having to use crutches, which is good since I hear that cycling with crutches is terrible. But I am off “high-impact” foot activity for 6 weeks. Looks like it’s all about yoga and/or swimming for the next month and a half.
It also means I’ve got some open race entries up for grabs. Anyone want to run the Partners in the Park on October 25th (in York, PA) or the Spirit of Pittsburgh half marathon on November 1st? Upside: free. Downside: they’ll think you’re me.
That is teh suxxors, dood. (Am I about three years too late to be typing crap like that?) I blame the shoes. Those things you were running in were ridiculous.
Anyway, even though you’re not running, do you still want to go out for pancakes after the Spirit? (Read: Can we shower at your place? We’ll drive you to the pancake house as payment.)
If I’m around, sure. I might take advantage of my free Sunday to head out of town. Heck, if you really need to shower and I’m out of town I can give you a key. Then you can also eat all my food and poop in my kitchen. roxors!11!!
Fine. Go out of town. Leave us without shower, shelter, or toilet. We’ll just go home to our suburban ghetto, wash up in the laundry tub, then head out for breakfast, at…
The farm!!!three

Dude, I said I’d leave you a key. And if I’m around: yes, I’ll definitely go eat pancakes. I love pancakes.
