Got the wire taken out of my foot today. The doctor (#1) says he thinks its a sliver of drill bit left over from doctor #1's operation. Doctor #1 did say he broke a drill bit off in my foot. Bottom line is, doctor #1 really botched the while thing and, l believe, caused me two years of pain, lost time and misery! Hopefully it's all over now and l can get back to running pain free.

Right now l don't have any running goals, I'm really focused on my team roping. My one goal that may pop up is Boston again if my daughter can qualify in April. I am already qualified so I don't plan on running any more marathons this spring.

My next goal may be 3:10 next spring but with my setbacks and age I'm not so sure that is possible .

I love the good news about the foot. No more talk about being old :). I hope she does qualify it will be a lot fun to run together.

I say we egg Dr. #1's house! :)

Sorry about all of the issues with your foot. I think being able to run Boston with your kid might be the coolest thing ever. Since you're not running right now, you should totally use this opportunity to coach your daughter to BQ. Like, go be super annoying with it. Make that happen.

Can you say Malpractice?

Wowzers, that's no fun. Glad it's out and you're ready to rope then run.

Nurse: "Doctor, where's the rest of the drill bit you broke off in his toe?"

Doctor: "I'm not sure, but it probably is on the floor over there (pointing to some random location with the drill in hand). I'm sure it will turn up."

I know this is a sad story, but I've been fighting the urge to make the obvious "So, your foot went wireless for a bit" Joke. There. I feel much better. How have you been, brother? It's kind of quiet around here, without you.

From I Just Run on Wed, Feb 08, 2017 at 18:33:50 from 107.77.64.76

All is good. My foot feels better...not perfect...but better. I'm planning to start back running next week. 😊

Thanks everyone for the support. You can make all the jokes you wand, I've been doing it myself. 😊😊😊

Good to hear!

Did anyone ask "wire" you in here for surgery again?

From Yasir on Mon, Feb 13, 2017 at 21:18:04 from 99.20.240.16

I'm glad you are feeling like new. I dont want to hear anything about being old :(
