Your bones look good.

I injured my foot on an 18 mile run a couple of weeks ago. I didn't run for nine days and then during a meltdown thinking I had a stress fracture and wouldn't be able to run our Valentines 1/2 marathon on the beach together or the Boston Marathon, Josh got me into the Dr. the next day.

He had me get xrays and when he looked at them he said, "Your bones look good." Those were like magical words, hallelujah! Ends up it's pareneal tendonitus. He didn't think I should run the next day in the 1/2, esp being on sand and the uneven surface, but I did anyway because it really didn't hurt too bad. Dumb? Probably, but I was soo looking forward to our date!
Q: When's the last time you had to get xrays?

Your bones look awesome! :) I heard about the race form Kat tonight at cooking class. Sounds fun! Now, heal that foot up in prep for the Boston! Right! ?

I had x-rays when I went to the dentist last month...if that counts. I'm so glad that you're foot is ok. Congrats again for doing so well, especially with that injury. Take care of yourself :)

Yay! Glad to hear your bones are ok - although I hope your tendons heal quickly as well.

It was SO good to talk to you the other day!! I MISS you!

Hmm, I think the last time I had xrays (the way you are talking about) was when I was 6. My sister had cut my finger with saw-tooth clippers right down to the bone. She didn't mean to. The doctor was concerned that my growth plate had been damaged, but it wasn't, thank goodness!

I'm still cringing from "saw tooth clippers"--oh my gosh I'm so grossed out. Sorry about your finger!

And it was soo good to talk to you too Alicia! And thanks Annie and Kat:).
