Nine and a half Brooks ghost 11 Gore-Tex first shoes tonight Exciting exciting and now I'm back on the phone. Ah, yes. Thank you. I was Special interest in putting ankle in the king. Okay. I've got her report though. Okay, sure Okay, but she also mentions that is what she's calling a stress response. Okay, got it. All right There may be something going on with the cartridge. Okay, okay? Everything looks normal. Okay, so most of what she's saying here everything looks normal We're not seeing any tears in any of the ligaments. We're basically saying everything looks like it's intact Yeah, but there is a stress response in the second and third metatarsals And at the proximal side typically if we have a stress fracture in those bones, that's where it's gonna be sure sure all right Thank you. All right, you too My bite. Well, there you go. All right. Let's go out to the studio break this down. I was not excited I'm so glad I so glad I left a voicemail boy. He called back like that. Oh appreciate this doctor Appreciate this doctor. This is good. This is good. Okay. I'm out in the shooting I'm proud. I literally just hung up the phone with a podiatrist the foot doctor. So I'm processing this in real time right now and Yeah, so I had another game plan for today's vlog I was gonna talk about some other topics here in the studio But I think we're gonna call an audible like we did a couple days ago and hone in on these So I was calling the doctor calling the doctor all afternoon and it's Tuesday I'm like, come on. We got to get these results. I want to I want to get to the bottom of this and So I just got the phone call and basically you I showed you a little bit of it And I really I'm really liking this podiatrist I haven't I've never been to him before and he's a he's an former I think army So he's a he's from the military background So he's like kind of straight to the point doesn't mess around and I appreciate that when it comes to doctors They just tell it to you straight. You want to hear the truth, right? So he told me the truth Well, first of all the radiologist that he uses is a foot and ankle Specialist when it comes to radiology, that's what he tells me so I trust him and the Radiologist who focuses on foot and ankle injuries did not see any stress fractures This is good news But the key word for this blog is bruise because what he did tell me is that there might be signs And so okay, and I use that word might you got to be careful the words you use But he said that there's signs of bone bruising on the second and third metatarsal Listen, he spent about seven to eight minutes explaining everything to me And a lot of it was he was talking about bones and ligaments that I just went a little over my head I was like now wait a minute. Can you tell me where that is on the foot as far as a particular bone? So I need to go back what I'm gonna do is the clip you saw a second ago me talking to the doctor I'm gonna go back tonight when I start editing and listen re-listen to the conversation I had the entire conversation with the doctor, but no stress fractures, and I use plural because he Well, I'm feeling pain in different areas of my foot So he said no stress fractures, but possibly bone bruising and yes bruise again his key word So this is good and it makes sense because I think two weeks ago when I started really feeling the pain It felt like a stress fracture, but it didn't feel like it's like I've had nine maybe ten I think I think I've had nine stress fractures in my entire running career. I've had a lot of them And so I know what a stress fracture feels like it's a sharp It's a pretty sharp pain, and you know like some are worse than others Anyway, he did say though the doctor the podiatrist did say that If I would have kept running these bone bruises probably would have turned into a stress fracture So I'm glad that I stopped and then also he did say that he is gonna pull up the images Tomorrow in his office just to confirm what the radiologist is saying And then he also one last point he said that there might be some signs of some I think he said cartilage Damage so some soft tissue cartilage damage in a certain and that would make sense based on the symptoms that I'm feeling Again, it wasn't as sharp as a stress fracture usually is for me Okay, this is good. I'm smiling. This is good and man. Ah So I obviously yeah, obviously I'm not gonna make a decision in this moment about Cleveland or about any racing moving forward I just got to be patient and see how it feels Tomorrow and the next day and the next day and keep hitting it hard. So today's cross training I swam and I didn't do any filming, but I'll maybe show you a few random clips from the past past week of swimming I swam for two hours in 19 minutes, and you're probably like, huh? That's an interesting number and if you've been watching the vlog for a while now You know why I swam for exactly two hours and 19 minutes. It's up here. It's all up here And I am just making sure that I am Mentally focused mentally confident So anyway, I two hours and 19 minutes if it got really hard probably the last 30 minutes Like I was I was feeling it at the end But if it was a great workout in the pool today, and I don't know what else to say I'm just kind of processing this with you guys live here in the studio. So thank you for the support I'm excited. So true love and I are off to date night So I haven't even told her yet the results of the MRI So I'm going to tell her on in front of the camera in the car here in a second So stay tuned for that and what I was going to focus on tonight or today for you was all about 5k Training because I'm getting a lot of questions about 5k training and the question of the day was gonna be about 5k training, but I'm gonna nix that plan. We'll cover 5k training later this week, hopefully But therefore I don't have a question of the day for you instead I want to pose this opportunity for you. What questions would you like to pose? Not necessarily to me, but to this YouTube running Family so down on the comments if you have a kind of a broader Question for everyone not necessarily for me, but for just everyone about anything ask it down below It could be about yesterday's topic about Elliot Kipchogi.
