A diagnosis, at last!

Tonight my podiatrist explained what perhaps the specialist should have last week.  He had met her and discussed my foot in detail.  I have Lisfrancs (mid-foot) injury.  At this stage there is no requirement for surgery so in order to strengthen the mid-foot I had my feet scanned for new orthotics.  The podiatrist also confirmed that my target of running 100 miles on August 22/23 is still on, assuming that my foot behaves.
This is great news but I will need to take it sensibly.  My orthotics won't be ready for a week so I'll concentrate on my swimming and cycling to keep my base fitness up.  I have a sprint triathlon on 3rd May and a half Ironman on 17 May so I've plenty to keep me busy.
Thanks for all your good wishes and continued support.
