Gettin’ on the good foot!

Posted by Mickie T on Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Say, I don’t know if I mentioned this, but I cracked a bone in my foot a month ago, the first week in August. For those of you who are in the medical profession or who like watching “Mystery Diagnosis,” I have the Jones fracture of the Fifth Metatarsal in my left foot. So, if you’ve ever wanted to know my “secret identity,” I’m the one in the area under 50, hobbling around with a funny shoe and cane that I decorated with stickers and day-glo tape.

But, this is not going to keep me down, sisters and brothers! That’s why I’m volunteering tomorrow, Sunday, at the Astoria Park rest stop New York Century Ride, from 8 AM to 1 PM. Come say hi! I’ll be the one not standing.

Believe me, as a recreational cyclist in our fair city, I’ve noticed how stunningly beautiful the weather has been this August. Wow. Hardly any rain or  humidity and NO heat waves! Oh, the agony of de feet!!

I found this photo on Flickr, and that’s exactly how I feel!

So enjoy our “August in Spetember” weather this week and maybe I’ll see you tomorrow!
