There's always a setback

This has been kind of a bummer week at our house. It all started last Sunday when Casen tried to break my neck by using my hair as a rope when he fell off the couch. Talk about serious whip lash. Don't worry about Casen. My super rope hair worked and he was able to lightly tap the ground rather than smash into it like he normally does. Anyways, my sore neck made training this week super fun. But I survived, sort of, until Wednesday. That's when my ankle really started hurting. Like so bad that I was in constant pain. Thursday the doctor sent me to get x-rays to see if I could have a stress fracture but I'm still waiting for the results. She told me to take it easy for a while and after sitting around for a few days everything is definitely feeling better, except that I feel like a lazy bum. Oh and to top all of that off everyone in the house is now sick. Yeah. Its been a great week over here. At least I have my Napoleon Dynamite wanna be who rocks his snow boots all day to keep a smile on my face.

And my food storage construction workers who build towers out of my stock pile.

Who says you can't play with your food? Now I have to make a tough decision. I'm supposed to run a marathon in February in AZ. Thanks to taking half the week off and my ankle still not being 100% I'm wondering if I'll even be able to run a full marathon so I'm considering switching to the half marathon. The only think holding me back is wondering how I'm going to feel about myself if I do that. Will I feel like I short changed myself or like I gave up or will I feel like I made the right choice? Maybe I'll wait until I do a few runs this next week to see how everything is holding up before I make any decisions.
