So I’m taking a little bit of a break from running which means that being ready in time for Buffalo is in jeopardy if not completely off the table as an option.  Over the past week or two, my left foot really started bothering me.  The top of the foot hurts for about the first mile or two that I run and feels very similarly to the stress fracture I had in high school that ended my very short and uninteresting running career to date at the time.  It took a long time for me to heal after that so I’m hoping that I caught it early enough this time that I won’t be out of commission for months.

Shooting for the Rochester marathon in September if I heal in a reasonable amount of time.

Time to go buy a bike I suppose!

So I’ve been reading the comic over at xkcd.com for quite a while now.  Its in general a very funny comic, but every once in a while I wake up and and look at the strip and think, “This man can see inside my head…”  and I cry.  Today was one of those days.  Not only does it reference an obscure book I doubt many people have read, but it also references my fair city.  Creepy. Enjoy.
