I'd be interested to hear about the types of workouts you did at first (surfaces, duration, distance, quality, etc.)runner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8374097373645886402.post-38514776433302165362008-10-27T16:54:00.000-05:002008-10-27T16:54:00.000-05:00Bummer!

I was in the boot for 8 weeks.<BR/><BR/>I'll warn you, it's not an easy injury to come back from. When I started to resume my training, I got all kinds of other odd pain, not in the stress fracture but in my other leg. I think that because your leg is in that boot for so long it gets weak and when you resume running, your form is off, thus your left leg compensates. <BR/><BR/>It probably took me about four months before I was running every day, I had a ton of little set backs. Hope you don't get that!<BR/><BR/>Shoot me an email if you have questions though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
