So i was just recently informed by my doctors that i have stress fractures in my shins:(( Varsity championshiips are in one week and i was supposed to place in the top 15's or at least the top 20's. It explains why i did so bad in the western divisions championships placing 6th on my team when i usually place 3rd or 2nd. I placed in the high 20's when i should have been in the top 10... states are in two weeks and im not allowed to run for 12. im pretty bummed, i wanted to do good things for my school and we had potential to win states... oh well there is always next year...

He's already missed the qualifier and the school won't let him run. Why shouldn't he listen to me? I actually know whats going on. When he posted this he only had a week until state qualifier posting a comment like that two hours ago doesn't help and the coach has already said he isn't running. Didn't you read his blog people? Don't listen to me triston, just trying to help a brother out. and as much of an idiot as i seem, i've seen people running track that break their legs just from the stress on their stress fractures. If you can barelly walk than you shouldn't be running. Just get better for Track season so i'll have a training partner Brah;).

Dont listen to jordan... 7 months ago

There is a chance for your team to do well you owe them some sort of effort. try pool running for the following weeks to keep your aerobic capacity up and then just run on race days. we won nationals with a guy on a stress fracture, it can be done without compromising a career but it needs to be handled delicately.

"The only easy day was yesterd"- He's hurt guy. would you rather have him never run again? Don't give bad advice to people when you don't know their condition. The guy is limping when he walks and has a 12 week rehab plan from the doctor plus he isn't medically cleared by the trainers to continue running.
Triston, do not run anyways. as much as i miss you running in all the races and at practice i don't think its better just to run. There is still next year. Who knows? maybe recovering from these stress fractures will make you faster. We can win state next year but if you hurt yourself for good then there is no next year or track. Be smart about this, we miss you a lot but we will miss you more if you can't get cleared to run for the rest of the year. Keep working on those stress fractures. And stop hanging out in your room with the door locked skipping school;) Thats just weird and strange. Loner
Aloha Brah.

What? If championships are in a week then you should run anyway. I would, especially if your team has the chance to win state.
