MRI Result

08/30/2009

Good news. I got a call from my doctor and the MRI came back negative.

I got an MRI today. I mentioned in my last post that I had some pain on the run. The pain was in my right shin around mile 15ish or so. Not sure, but I know I felt it on the way to the finish. While I was on vacation in London and Romania the rest of my body healed, but there was still sharp pain.

As we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight that so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1
