After spending 4 months training for a marathon.....3 weeks away looks like I have to drop out. I have a stress fracture on my tibia and have been wearing a boot on my right leg for almost five weeks now-I have found it very interesting as I've hobbled around lop sided through out my normal day to day life how many strangers (mostly men) comment, joke or ask me about my boot. Typical day consists of talking to 3 new people a day. I consider myself to be a pretty friendly person but I have never, ever commented right off to someone I didn't know just because they were injured. Its been fun and annoying meeting new people everyday, hearing their funny jokes even if they aren't funny or I've heard it before, its been entertaining making up stories of why my leg is hurt. But 9 more days baby, 9 more days and me and this boot are breaking up.....I hope
