I love Greek yogurt. It's not as sweet, but the taste and consistency is better, IMO. Both brands are good -- I especially like the Chobani peach.

MR actually gives better definition, including marrow changes/inflammation. You are right that CT is normally a good "bone study," but in small areas of potential damage, MRI would be a better choice. Plus, you get the advantages of looking at soft tissue/bursa damage AND no radiation.

All this being said, if I decide to pull the trigger, I'll consult with our Chief of Radiology first. Thanks for your help/concern!

Chobani Peach was a good call. Strawberry is decent too.

My half-marathon is 2 weeks from today. It will be my first one. I was wondering what type of work load you all would recommend for my training leading up to the race? That leaves me with 13 days to train (not counting the Saturday before). How many miles should I run leading up to the race and how many of those days should I run? Thanks.
