So, I went to the podiatrist about the foot. As expected in a way. It definitely is a stress fracture to the metatarsal bone on my right foot. The fact the Dr could put a good amount of stress on it in different plains with no pain was good. There's a calcium bump on the bone, which means that it is healing.
I'll be looking at my diet and increasing my vitamin D and calcium intake. Also, the Dr told me that he has a protocol for coming back from this injury. More walking and then slowly but surely starting to run again. The 10% rule for working out is key - ie no more than 10% more when you distance day to day.
So, I got the OK to ride my road bike, which is sweet. I'll start riding in the next couple of days.
So, more time in the boot and I head back in three weeks.
