lies I've been telling myself
1. a periosteal reaction suggests a healing stress fracture.
2. spending a lot of time pool-running and biking doesn't just maintain fitness, it increases fitness.
3. spending a lot of time pool-running and biking doesn't just increase fitness, it helps heal stress fractures.
4. it is possible for a soon-to-be-45-year-old woman to regain enough fitness to be a mediocre runner once again.
5. my mouth doesn't hurt when I chew.
6. it really doesn't matter that I've spent about $700 this year on airfare that I ended up not being able to use.
7. spending upwards of $2200 to attend an ART (active release therapy) workshop the weekend of the Akron marathon is not throwing good money after bad.
8. I really, really, really enjoy doing massage when it hurts to put weight on my leg and move around on it.
9. I really didn't want to meet Salty, mrp, and peanut anyway. Hell with 'em.
I'll post more whoppers as I think of 'em. As in...
10. riding a mountain bike on the road at 14-15mph is equivalent to running around 8:30 pace.
11. riding won't give me huge hunky thighs that will be a nuisance to haul around once I start running again.

Aww! Damn! If for some reason you don't go to the conference come up to Cleveland/Akron anyway and we'll show you a good time. Hell, I still need two people for that relay so we could give you a pillow and we'd be good to go :)

Ok. #11 made me laugh out loud. This is exactly why Robin didn't want to ride when she was in her 20's.

n.2 suggests lack of clarity on the meaning of fitness
n.4 is debatable
n.5 has this iceberg feeling about it
n.11 made me laugh...
