Good News/Bad News
The good news is that I had a very successful Rockville Rotary Twilighter 8K, running a 11:02 pace despite thunder, lightning, and torrential downpour... and a severely sprained foot which I acquired in the first three minutes of the race.
I am a chowderhead for not dropping out of the race immediately at that moment, but I was so pumped with adrenalin, and then high on endorphins, that I didn't realize how badly hosed my foot was until I crossed the finish line and couldn't walk. And yes, it was the SAME foot that I've injured repeatedly.
Fortunately, Andrew was there and got me some ice to apply and gave me a lift to my car, which saved me from a lot of additional agony.
So now I'm back on crutches, and probably out of the running running (as it were) until Fall.
Damn it!
