For some crazy reason I avoided a sress fracture, I was in my early 30's and let's say a lot of beer was involved - blah ha - maybe that's what saved me. Not sure. I'm a HUGE walker now. I have walked several 1/2 marathons and did the Chicago marathon in 2006. Doing the Nike Women's Maraton in San Fran in Oct. and so excited. My running days are over by choice and am happy with my "walking bug" I think as long as you keep moving its all good. Good luck keeping the stress fractures away...Lisa Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147227895108073895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8416522097048166228.post-54415202666593479182008-08-31T09:38:00.000-07:002008-08-31T09:38:00.000-07:00Lisa, If I could just stop getting the same stress...Lisa, If I could just stop getting the same stress fracture over and over, I'll do that marathon!

Good luck. I framed my marathon racing bibs, yes plural (4) because I had someone tell me that I couldn't do just 1 and I caught that same bug and well, it took awhile to shake it!! Its fun to see them on the wall as a reminder of what I "couldn't do". Happy running....Lisa Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147227895108073895noreply@blogger.com
