Sorry to hear SF isn't going to happen. I hope your heel improves quickly, and hopefully there's some solace in knowing you're not alone!Colin Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748487053513730467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647981158777587740.post-345577492276742842010-07-14T14:17:52.085-07:002010-07-14T14:17:52.085-07:00Michael, I just finished reading Christopher McDo...Michael, I just finished reading Christopher McDougall's excellent book, Born to Run. He refers to heal spurs as "vampire bites". Having had the bite several year's ago I can feel your pain. Not fun! I have no unsolicited advice to offer with respect to the "run or not run" dilemma. The answer lies within you; you know what to do and that's exactly what needs to be done. I will say, however, that there's no shame in exiting the race with dignity. Hold your head high and cheers on the brothers and sisters. The chill with a cold one. I look forward to your next race report.
