things happen.

so today i was running. that is a pretty typical thing for a girl named carrie marie to do. infact i was doing ten miles and then running to my poditrist, dr. warnekros. yup. i almost get there and felt a crack. and heard a pop. and then i was down. i get back up and think shoot this is just great! i mean i have been training pretty good for the past...couple of months. and i get to dr warnekros' office and it was for a follow up because i had gotten orthodics. and i said well my ankle has been awlfully wobbly and has been bruising and swelling up but other then that it has been fine...yup he was concerned i could tell by the look on his face. as i continued talking about my wonderful foot...i said actually a couple minutes ago i heard it pop and it brought me to the ground. but i didnt think anything of it. he looked closer to my foot. and then he started pressing and i would squirm around..he then put an x on the spot where it was most tender. then we went to this room where we took an x-ray....an x-ray whats going on?! we look at my pictures/xrays and it was apparent. i have a severe stress fracture. tears instantly came on my face. i couldnt help it! i have a race on sunday!! a half and then i have a full in june! ive worked hard and deserve to run those races! they are the only thing i feel i have to look forward to. sad but true....ugg. then he was like well i have a present for you. a present? he brings me a big black boot...aircast rather. tears started coming down more....yup this is really true and really happening.

on the way home i started thinking. is this heavenly fathers plan for me? is this a sign that maybe i need to slow down and not do everything and try to do everything that i think that everyone expects me to? bah. i do think so and i have a lot to work on. i will embrace this and move along....slowly cause of this stupid cast. but maybe this is a blessing in disguise. who knows.

and theres that story for you.
