After running the Fargo Marathon I was ready for summer and considering running another marathon in 3 weeks in Iowa then visiting Aimee at Creighton. I slowed down for about two weeks but wanted to really work hard during the summer and be ready to run several races each month in the fall, both fulls and halves. However, about two weeks ago on June 5, I smashed my foot into the bedpost and broke my little toe. I never knew how much I used this toe until I could no longer use it! Since then I have only managed to gingerly run three times and I am not sure when it will be healed. The lack of running has opened new doors to me though as I have picked up biking and swimming more and I am now looking at the possibility of purchasing a road bike which would be the first step towards competing in triathlons. The only problem with buying a bike in this house is we would need two, and obviously double the cost. Oh well; we'll get it worked out. Until next time...
