Ran hella early before going to the air show with the Simpsons. Met Tim at the sophomore dorms. Kinda in a bad mood since it was real early and I definitely did not get my sleep the night before. Kinda took off and got on Shaker for my normal long run loop with extra added since I'm doing longer long runs than last year. Straight down Shaker to Gates Mills all the way to Cedar and back. I was pretty sure this was too long but wanted to be sure we weren't short like last week.
On the way back is were the wild stuff happened. Shortly after we got back on Shaker, Tim said his foot started hurting. He seemed to not be really favoring it much so we slowed the pace a bit and kept going. We got to the pavilion with water just past Richmond and he stopped and took his shoe of and kinda poked around at it a bit. But it still didn't seem that bad so we continued with him running a lot on the grass. He made it about another mile before pulling the plug. So I ran back to the house and got Steve's car drove out and picked him up. He said he talked to a doctor while walking (there were people all over the place this morning) who said he needed an x-ray and thought he had a stress fracture. I hope he's okay. He seemed in good spirits on the drive back. I think not having a team makes him feel a lot less pressure in his running.
The air show was awesome. Definitely better to be in there than to watch from campus.
