The first couple of miles today were drudgery, not to mention that my Garmin lost me again today....dangit. So my time and pace are a little off, but what am I gonna do. I guess yesterdays speed was a little tougher on the old body than I thought. It really took me a good three miles today before I got into a nice ryhthm and felt okay. Good thing tomorrow is recovery pace too cause I'm kinda tired.

Meg went to the Orthopedic doc yesterday and yes she does have a fracture in the upper arm or shoulder area and she does have a tear (not the rotator cuff, don't know what it's called though) that usually requires surgury, according to the doc, but he doesn't want to do the surgury until the fractured bone has a chance to heal. I guess once it's healed we will re-evaluate the tear and see if surgury is still required. So Meg may not be running for quite some time....she's gonna go nuts.

Oh tell Meg how sorry I am. I will run extra miles for her if it will help! I know If I can't run I really get depressed... is there any way she can get her endorphin high (as my hubby calls it)

I'm sorry to hear about Meg, and all because someone didn't have their dog on a leash. That makes me so mad.

So so so sorry to hear about Meg's injuries. Make the dog owner pay!!! Darn it! No running is the pits. May be it won't take that long before she can run, I hope hope!

Hang in there.

That's bad news. I hope that tear heals up enough so no surgery will be required.
