    Moving Past Foot Woes, Clearing Path to Games

    Moving Past Foot Woes, Clearing Path to Games By FRANK LITSKY Published: March 13, 2008 Shalane Flanagan ran the 5,000 meters in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the 2005 world championships in Helsinki. But her left foot hurt so badly in 2005 she could hardly train, and after Helsinki she decided not to run again until she found what was wrong. She went from doctor to doctor, looking for an answer. Itsuo Inouye/Associated Press Shalane Flanagan set a U.S. indoor record for 3,000 meters after a foot operation. Doctor No. 1 said the foot was fractured and there was no quick cure. Doctor No. 2 said there was an avulsion fracture, in which a bone fragment tears away. No immediate solution. Doctor No. 3 said there was a calcium deposit. No quick panacea. There were Doctors 4, 5 and 6 — maybe more, she said — but no relief. Finally, in April 2006, a breakthrough occurred. Dr. Amol Saxena, a podiatric surgeon in Palo Alto, Calif., said that Flanagan’s tendon appeared to be tearing, and he was about to operate. Minutes before, he took a standing X-ray and found the answer. She had an extra bone in the foot. He operated, removed the bone, repaired a torn tendon under the big toe and implanted a screw to hold everything together. After three months of rehabilitation, including hours in the swimming pool, Flanagan was running again on the roads. In February 2007, in her first race in 17 months, she set an American record of 8 minutes 33.25 seconds for 3,000 meters indoors.

    Website XC Testimony Quotes

    Cross-Country Testimony The greatest sport in the world, as revealed by its greatest constituents… Cross-country was always my first love in running. It’ s a wonderful, cathartic experience— a pure feeling being out in the country, especially in the fall when the weather is cool and the leaves change. - Craig Virgin It does not matter whether you run the 800m or the marathon, cross-country training is very important. It builds strength for all distances. - Kip Cheruiyot When you put yourself on the line in a race and expose yourself to the unknown, you learn things about yourself that are very exciting. - Doris Brown Heritage Cross-country reminded me of running and racing at its purest. The time means nothing in cross-country; the only thing that matters is how well each person competes! - Patrick Rizzo Cross-country is still a social sport for the participants. It's a convivial affair. Track was always very different. We didn't make friends in track. It was www.therealxc.com 1 full of fear and trepidation. Cross-country is where you made your friendships. - Chris Chataway It’ s relentless. There’ s nothing like it, I keep saying it’ s as good as winning the Olympics, or better, because all the top runners are there, in the one race. - Paula Radcliffe When you experience the run, you relive the hunt. Running is about 30 miles of chasing prey that can outrun you in a sprint, and tracking it down and bringing life back to your village. It's a beautiful thing.
