it’s a blessing in disguise - you will redshirt for a year while you get healthy and build a base (i’m sure you’ll still get to do some training with the team), and that means you get an extra year of NCAA elegibility after you graduate - so if you go to grad school you can race for the team, orrrr just bum around Miami an extra year. so you get 5 years in the NCAA instead of just 4, more time for development and a bigger base to build a post-college career on! :-D

Tomorrow running commences. For real this time, I am taking this return slow. I'm not pressuring myself about XC. I won't make that mistake again. I need to break this cycle of injuries!

Do you stretch after your runs? I stretch a lot and I never get injured and this is my 3rd year running. Stretching for 15-30 minutes after every run and doing a short core workout and doing strides 2-3 times a week is in my opinion the best way to avoid injuries and why I don't get them. The strides make your form better which decreases chance of injury brought on my heel-striking or other form problems.

I always stretch. I think I just have bone issues due to some unhealthy habits that are catching up with me late.

YESSS!!! SO PUMPED FOR YOU!!!! I’m hoping this is the end of the cycle (and the cycling for that matter...lololol) for you. You’ve got a great PT and doctors and so you can trust that you’re doing all the right things. (and FWIW, I ran for five years without ever getting hurt, and during that time had shitty form & never stretched....injuries can be random! lol)

That takes a lot of motivation and persistence to do such a long hard workout on a bike! You should totally do a triathlon this summer; you would kill it.

I'm glad the cycle workout was good. Boo for the shins, but perhaps just from returning back to running? My shins were stiff when I started running again as well.

I just found out that the sports nutritionist for the UM teams is known as the "running nutritionist" and has a sub 3 marathon PR and has completed an ironman. This is reassuring.

This was the first bit of "cardio" that I've done in two weeks. It was just a warmup for PT. I just want my body to freaking heal.

You are doing ALL the right things!! Remember that you're in good hands with your therapist and your doctors - trust them and trust the process. And TRY to trust your body - you probs feel like you're falling apart but from an objective perspective, even given your history, I think you've just had a string of bad luck. Just keep doing everything you can every day and keep being smart, and before you know it you'll be tearing up the Florida cross-country scene :-)

Apparently my stress fracture is really just a stress reaction which means I get two less weeks of no running. YAY.
