Bad Luck Comes in Threes

So they always say that bad luck hits in threes...must be my turn it seems this summer.

At the beginning of this summer the AC died on us at our house. This is #1.

With issues at work I can't really get into that would be #2.

And a couple of weeks after #2...#3 hit. This one is the worst of the bunch. I ran a 5k on the 2nd of this month. I kicked it into overdrive at the end and for the 1st time this year came under a 11 minute mile on my pace. The last two years were all under 10 and this year I am fighting mental blocks it would seem and couldn't get close to that without dying from exhaustion. By I digress...

By the next day my right ankle, foot, and calve were swelled and in great amounts of pain. Painful enough that if I tried to stand on both feet I would feel like fainting. X-Rays didn't show any breaks which is good. They also, so far, don't show stress fractures, which is also good. What sucks is that we think that I tore my lower calve muscle, and ruptured / strained my plantar. This pretty much ends the running season for me. 9-12 week recovery time from estimates so far. I see the specialist tomorrow. So wish me luck cause right now I need it. The pain is horrible and constant. It's very hard to walk far without some amount of pain on the bottom of my foot making itself known.

On the sketch side of things...I am close to the coloring phase of a commission which is turning out to be very cool! Ok gang...be good and cheers!
