It took less than two weeks but Boot Camp cracked me. Specifically, it cracked my foot. Even more specifically, it cracked the 5th metatarsal in my left foot.
A quick visit to the clinic and the doctor suggested the likely problem is a stress fracture , so he sent me off for x-rays. Until next week at least, I am supposed to stay off my foot if I want to get back to normal walking. A cane was suggested, which I purchased, but after a few days of that, I would much rather have crutches. The cane has thrown off my alignment and I have more pain in my hip and knee than I ever did in my foot.
According to the doctor, that’s the end of Boot Camp, which is a hassle as I was training for the Vegas hockey tournament. His opinion is that I should be good to go by the time the tournament begins, though. I hope so.
Damn foot.
