HEY GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS

Doing too much too soon is a common cause of stress fractures. For example, runners who are confined indoors for the winter may want to pick up where they left off at the end of the previous season. Instead of starting slowly, they try to match their previous mileage. Because of the lower level of conditioning, muscles become fatigued faster. The result could be a stress fracture in the foot or ankle.

Fuck you, enticing spring weather.

I take it this story has some tragic personal application?

My money's on the second metatarsal. Apparently a six mile run after only two weeks of training following three months of utterly sedentary lifestyle is not the awesome idea I thought it was.

Though it was the subsequent three-mile walk this evening that seems to have sealed the deal.
