Taking a break from after breaking my leg on this morning's run. Fractured my fibula, damaged the soft tissue.

Demotivating.

@SecondJon that would put you out of commision regardless of your spirits.. sorry man.. hope it heals soon and well.

Broke a bone, tore soft tissue, displaced another bone. Needed surgery and was under general anesthetic only 28 hours after the initial injury yesterday.

Amazing health care we have in America, but quite a bill....using up a lot of deductible all at once here.

My nerve block hasn't worn off yet so I feel fine now, but am having a hard time going to sleep, dreading waking up in a world of pain.

Recovery is 3 months until I can re start marathon training for my first marathon in October, which they think I'll be able to run. If they're right, it'll be a good recovery and a great story for my first marathon.

Taking some time off work... and maybe more as short term disability... I generally push myself too hard and given the option with this most severe injury /health situation ever, maybe I should take advantage of the time to recover better.

3 months and a few days after breaking my leg and I've just completed the first week of marathon training. is slow and a little painful, but great to be out there again.
