The re ~ arranged running plans

Training in the fall of 2012 along with the girls by my side training hard for all of our first half things went terribly wrong for me. I was having major leg soreness and would constantly make excuses.
On what was supposed to be a 10 mile long run at mile 4 my legs were in ALOT of pain, i tried my best to jog through it. Trying to pull away from the girls so they didn't see my level of pain I began to walk and then  with obvious pain and limping I could barely even do that. They insisted I go to the DR. Long story short. I did.
The first impressions from the X-rays were confusing and scary. I had sclerotic lesions on both sides of my hips. Caused by lack of oxygen to my lower extremities. WHAT *tears* I had no idea what was being said or what was going to happen. I was sent over to the orthopedic specialists and he ordered a few exams, more x rays and a nuclear bone scan.
Results :
Arthritis throughout my entire lower back
Sclerotic Lesions confirmed
2 very stress fractured legs
Advice:
Stop running until at least April 2013 WHAT !!!!!
I needed to heal. I knew this, but seriously that much time off ... NOT COOL.
I did take time off but not nearly as much time as stated above. Instead I began slowly running again and riding more. Took things very easy and it paid off.
In Nov I ran a local 5k and a 10k and placed 2nd and 3rd. I felt so good and my legs were not bothering me at all.
So let the 2013 season begin ..
