No panic button in this contraption.

It's a week from a big race and I have a foot infection. Grreeeaaattt.
I'm now on antibiotics, painkillers and..rest.
I'm also on 2 days MC ~ shamefully first time I had to take MC in almost 6 years.
So now, no running, no cross training, nothing, nada, takdak apa, yelek.

I'm stuck home watching crap tv ( now I know late afternoon weekday programs are mostly sampah),on the sofa with my legs elevated and walking around everywhere on tippy toes ( hopefully strengthening my calves).
I'm not panicking. Not yet, anyway.
Initially my goal for this Sunday is Race Happy, Race Fast.
Now, I'm good with Race Happy, Race Still Be There When I'm Done.

So for those who are worried about not covering enough mileage, not enough LSD and what have yous.
Bear in mind
Somebody got it far worse, my friend.
And I'm not worried.
Yet
