thumbs up!

dr julien finally called me this afternoon confirming some good news: there is no fracture! it is likely that i have a bone bruise, but am not at risk for anything further. he has cleared me to do anything that feels ok, including the race next weekend. now i have a big decision ahead of me. i plan to take the weekend to get used to putting full pressure back on my heel and if all goes well, try a light run on Sunday or Monday. i don't want to jump into something too soon and risk my spring season, but the doc wouldn't give me his blessing unless he felt solid. my fingers and toes are crossed!
