NOTHING NEW TO REPORT....

Foot still hurt, not as much though, the doctor diagnosed the Plantar Fasciitis as Michelle mentionned in my last post. I am taking some anti-inflammatories and resting the foot for a week or two. I am thinking about doing a small run this week with the pooch and see how it feels. This does not look good upon my Miami Marathon =( I knew I was already cutting the training a bit short with only 3 months before the marathon but now it looks like I will have to transfer to the half. There is no way to do this without getting injured with only 2 months before the event now.... I'm disappointed but it's not like I did all the training and got injured at the last minute. That would be a lot more frustrating... If I recover quickly from the PF I can try to go for a half-marathon PB....

On the good news, I just finished my second scientific article (Mineralogical Approach to the Study of Biomineralization in Fish Otoliths) and it will be submitted to Mineralogical Magazine Journal tomorrow! 2 downs, 2 more to go before this thesis is done! =)

I hope it gets better. Better to get healed before tackling another marathon. I'm headed to Miami for a vacation (no competitive running, but perhaps some good long runs) in early January.

Wow, I almost understood your article (not really)! Sorry about the PF but that’s the road will go down! The good thing is you’ll be in Miami!

Yumke: You have to let me know how great the Miami beaches are when you come back!

Ken: not sure I got it too ;-)

Marathon or not I will be in Miami enjoying the beach!!

We may be doing the half together! That stinks about your foot. I totally feel your pain, except the pain is in my knees ;)
