Tracy's post reminded me, we need to be on the lookout for what they are going to do with the Mentor Groups at the end of the year!

Originally posted by Hot Runner Well...MRI is done. (BTW--I DO NOT recommend having a very strong coffee shortly before entering one. Under the best of circumstances, I have a really hard time staying still and not fidgeting. Add this freaky machine and the disconcerting sounds it makes, plus a brisk morning workout and the coffee, and I kept feeling like my muscles were going to start twitching or cramping and ruin the image. Kept counting down with the timer and those horrible sounds--DON'T MOVE, DON'T MOVE....or I have to spend all this $$$ again....) Bunch of medical gobbledygook on the report which I will have to see the orthopedist to fully interpret on Tuesday (hope he can understand results dictated by a French radiologist and typed by a Vietnamese secretary who doesn't seem to use punctuation normally), but it sounds like all earlier guesses and tests were wrong. I think I understood this much.... It appears to be have been a stress fracture (at this point, partly or completely healed) in my second toe and that, plus probably whatever changes in biomechanics I was doing to compensate for it while trying to baby it along, has caused all manner of inflammation and general unhappiness in the adjoining joints and soft tissues. Apparently not Morton's neuroma, plantar plate tear, or MTP joint capsulitis. My blame is still on the ill-fitting bike shoes--I think the combo of crappy shoes (more an issue on that foot as it is 1/2 size bigger than the other), lots of big-gear work last spring, and the fact that I'm not a very experienced cyclist and probably haven't developed the resilience that I have for the repetitive motions of swimming and running. Guessing I may have over-worked some of the supporting muscles and ligaments, put strain where it shouldn't have been, and then my poor toe bone took a hit, especially when I ran immediately after cycling during bricks and races. I guess the good news is nothing is currently broken, missing, or displaced. But it took a while to develop so sounds like it might take a while to get rid of. Hoping it is amenable at this point to anti-inflammatories and PT and we don't have to do anything nasty or invasive. At this point I would gladly just cut the whole thing off. OMG.

This just happened 

Originally posted by Hot Runner Hate to bring this up, but I just had a second look at the tattoo--I could swear it says 144.6. Is Choo longer than standard, or are my eyes giving out? Or did you follow my example and do some extra riding? (The standing joke at the bike shop after Worlds last year is that if/when I finally do an Ironman, I'm going to end up with a 150.6 tattoo.)

Wait! What will you do when you get to your second and third one?
