Well, in true Honey Badger style I was clearly oblivious to my broken leg. Dragging it around and referring to the pain as swim related.
I have a Grade 3 Tibial Stress Fracture. A microfracture. This is per the radiologist who reviewed my MRI. I haven't talked to my Orthro yet so I'm not sure what he wants me to do. Of course no running. I'm praying I don't get put in a boot. Well, it's not a complete break. That's about the only good news. I have no idea how in one run I go from fine to almost breaking my leg in half....shit.....
+/-11 weeks off from Running.....

So of course I'm a googling fool until I see my Ortho. I tried to see what grade 3 is all about. This is what's out there:
- progression of stress fractures:
- stage I - crack initiation: areas of stress concentration
- stage II - crack propagation: no repair or more damage than repair
- stage III - final fracture: cracks coalesce, enlarge, ultimate failure
Well, I'll just wait and see. I've got plenty of time for that in my schedule. Looks like I will be in the pool a lot. I plan of getting some pedals for my sister's extra tri bike. I'm not going out just like that! I'm taking today off to mope but tomorrow I have work to do...
