Road block #1 plus stats

The last 4 weeks I have had so much motivation to run.
I have never been a runner. I have always wanted to be a runner.
So, I have purchased an elliptical to start. I was working out 5 days a week, one hour a day. Loving every second of the sweat.
I loved seeing that I had burned up wards of 700 calories during my run. I loved that I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Hardly paying attention to what I was eating. I had been making better choices. But still, not really paying that close attention.
Week 3 rolled around and all of a sudden I was experiencing sore ankles.
Nothing too major. I just assumed it was sore muscles needing to build strength.
After about 3 days of that, It got really bad, I could not walk in the mornings without having taken Motrin.
After a week of that.
I went to the doctor.
The diagnosis...
STRESS FRACTURES.
I have 2 stress fractures. I have them in both ankles. The left is far worse than the right. But both in the same spots. The weight baring bones in my ankles.
It is so painful.
So, now I have to put a hold on my running for 6-8 weeks. After that, I have to cut back to every other day. 10 min to start.
It is no secret that I HATE milk. And I have hated it since I was about 5 years old. So during the most important bone building years of my life, I neglected to drink milk, take a calcium supplement.
The doctor said that if it happened again, I would need to get a bone density test done. WHAT?!? I am not even 30! WAKE UP CALL!! First thing I did, I went to the store and got calcium and vitamin d.
I don't want to be 30 and on Boniva because I failed to listen to my grandma tell me that I was going to get a hump back and brittle bones because I wouldn't drink milk. Just to clarify, I don't have a hump back.
But I really could have brittle bones.
That freaks me out.
Of course that is strictly worst case scenario.
Really the cause was too much too soon.
I was silly to think that I could run about 6 miles just like that and that my non runner body could handle it with no problem.
I was silly to think that it was that easy.
The cure. Rest. No running. No strenuous workouts. So, it looks like Maurie Winsor and I will be getting re acquainted, and that I am really going to have to start tracking my food journal.
I am disappointed. Frustrated. And, a little pissed off.
Wish me luck.
