I went to the Orthopaedic doctor on Tuesday and he greeted me with some good news! Yes, the toe is broken, but the damage is done. No need for a boot, just a little tape. That being said, he released me to run as soon as I felt like it! I was totally amazed as I felt like running after leaving his office.
I chose not to run that day, but I am anxious to run again soon. After speaking with my lovely wife, I think I will wait a few weeks before actually running. I am excited about riding my bike this Saturday, seeing that the doctor gave me permission to do that as well!
My plan is to probably wait for about 3 weeks before running again and in the mean time, just ride my bike as much as possible. Although I feel certain that I can run now, just to be cautious, I will wait. A little REST never hurt anyone and besides, I figure all of the rest can only help my groin injury that I have been dealing with for almost 3 years now.
All that being said, I can't wait to run here in a few weeks and I am so grateful for the good news from the Orthopaedic doctor!

Nothing better than a good run! I've been running nearly 30 years and find myself enjoying it more every run. Running marathons is a thing of the past for me (at least for now). I'm grateful to be able to run a 1/2 marathon a month. Running 3-4 times a week is good enough. Spending time with my wife and kiddos, Juliana(13) and Jessa(12) is priority for me these days. GR8FL!
