It turns out I do not have achillies tendinitus...I have a 60% chance of a stress fracture and a 40% chance of shin splints.  If I have shin splints then I can start running again...but if I have a stress fracture...then im out for a month-2 months...but I already took 2 weeks off so it might be just another 2 weeks.  For anyone that doesn't know what a stress fracture is, according to the doctor, it is a bone on my tibia that is broken.  It is the most comman injury for a long distance runner.  If im not back in 2 weeks then I have no choice but to skip the Baltimore Marathon  just because I won't be in shape for it.  AHHH, im done bitching and complaining for today.  Now to sports...Yankees are sucking again...Braves are sucking...Orioles are struggling but they won last night...Spurs will hopefully sweep...and hopefully Tiger Woods wins the U.S. Open.  They are playing at Pinehurst No.2, that is where me, wiedel, and hose are playing at next year...hopefully or we are playing in hiltonhead...with there famous course Harbour Town.  How bout Sorenstam lately...hopefully she will win the grandslam.  I think it is awesome that they played a major championship right in our backyard (Bulle Rock).  Well, I can't wait to get back into running...these past 2 weeks seem like 2 years AHHHHHH...

Payne Stewart statue after he made his putt on 18th at Pinehurst to win the U.S. open over Phil Mickelson.  My favorite golfer and always will be.  He died in a plane crash.  The statue was made shortly after his death for his memory and it stands on the 18th hole.  Truely one of the greatest golfers that ever lived! 

Now for runners...here is one of the greatest runners of all time.  He has won a over 6 gold medals and at one time had the world record for the 10000 meter run from the guy that is running next to him.  Haile Gebrselassie and Kenosha Bekele. 

422: Haile Gebrselassie, 423: Kenosha Bekele; I work with Haile's cousin at Shell.

O yeah, can't forget about this guy...
