Lots has happened and not much has happened since I last wrote. Two main things: Valentine’s Day and finally being properly diagnosed with a tibial stress fracture.
I’ll talk about Valentine’s Day first. Joe and I, ever the planners, didn’t decide where to go out to eat until after I got home from work on Saturday. After making a few phone calls about reservations, expected business, etc. we decided to try out Monty’s Blue Plate Diner. Monty’s is one of those Madison fixtures we’ve always wanted to try out and they’re always too busy. They may be a diner but in the spirit of Madison’s hippier east side, they have lots of vegan options! Before dinner, we worked up an appetite trying out rock climbing at Boulder’s Climbing Gym. That was fun! And tiring! I finally figured out what triceps are for. I am still sore on Tuesday.
At Monty’s, we had to wait about half an hour for a table but it was worth it. I ended up getting a falafel wrap with waffle fries (YUM) and a vegan brownie. Not exactly full of veggies, but I was treating myself! Joe got a burger and a huge shake. We were SOOO full. We topped off the night at Ideal Bar, a dive bar across the street from the craft brewery that we were trying to go to that was at capacity. It was a good choice! We met a man named Little Rock who shared with us his love for classic rock and views on legalized marijuana. A successful night all around.
Now about that stress fracture. Yesterday I got an MRI and today I was fitted with a boot. I look so cute! (lol jk) I’ve been battling shin pain for over three months now so I guess it’s good to finally figure out what’s really wrong and be on the path to recovery. I’m also supposed to be using crutches. I’ll wear the boot for three weeks. But I still have to drive… and teach ballet… soooo I’m not totally sure how realistic all of this is but I guess we’ll see how things go. I can’t wait to be back to running. I feel like I was finally getting to be “not a beginner” and it’s been really discouraging to be injured. I’m trying to figure out what sort of fitness things I can do for the next few weeks because I can’t even cycle. My gym membership comes with pool access but unfortunately the pool is not at the gym - it’s about five miles away so I’m not sure swimming fits into my tight schedule. And where’s my bathing suit? Yoga? Maybe I’ll lift some heavy things instead.
Here’s a photo of me lookin’ fiiiiine in my boot:
