maybe it's time to think of some contingency plans. it's been 7 weeks since no running and it's really been a bummer. every day i wake up thinking that everything is going to get better today but i wish sometimes that i didn't want to get better anymore. yesterday was the first day of IMLP training...which will have to get pushed back to who knows when. i need to decide when is the absolute cut-off point for deciding not to do IMLP. and then really really pray that i don't get to that point! i love running on christmas morning and on esthermas morning but it seems like that is not going to happen. i finally gave in and am working on booking an appointment with a sports orthopaedic surgeon. i was a little scared off from seeing sports doctors b/c the last time i saw one, he told me, "maybe you're just not meant to be a runner." so of course i had to prove him wrong! but i don't want to be told that again. we'll see.
on a random note, since i'm a veggie lover, here is the cutest t-shirt that my little brother showed me from woot.com:

I've seen 20 week "beginners" ironman training schedules. Obviously not exactly what you were hoping for but it's something.
March 8th would be 20 weeks out I think.
BTW: Beginner and ironman are 2 words that don't go together in my book.
You will get there!
That's a cute shirt! You'll be fine. You were meant to run! I will look at the Fink book and look into some kind of modification of the plan.
I hope you heal up in time for IMLP.
You should join facebook. Hours of time wasted. the perfect distraction!
