Dammit. Frick.
He's a good guy and I was really rooting for him. Sigh. Man, THREE stress fractures in the past six months? After all those years of mega-mileage that he seemed to hold up under. Maybe it is diet. Or just that workload catching up to him.
I hope he's able to get everything figured out, and to run some great races in the future. Man, the way the Trials process is, is such a cruel mistress. Train and wait for four years, and then get waylaid by an injury. Frick.
