Some bad news :-(

I put my running shoes on yesterday (first time since the race.... 3 LONG weeks ago). I made it about 20 seconds before the pain started shooting up my leg. It is swollen and is hurting when I walk on it.

I had to let my sister know that I would only be able to walk the Women's Nike Marathon. I know how disappointed she is.... as this is her first. I am so sorry Jodie :-(

I will go to the doctor when I get back from my trip. I don't want to be told not to walk the marathon. I dread going because he will give me the "I told you so" speech and tell me how bad running is for my body.... blah, blah, blah... Talk To The Hand!




I need to find an understanding physician who runs.


On a brighter note:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!




I am very thankful for all my blogger friends and supporters out there.



Gotta ru.....ummm... walk.

Hi Katy!

Thanks for taking time to visit and comment. It's nice to know that I'm not alone. Have a great time in San Fran! I am gonna crawl if I have to... I am getting that Tiffany necklace! ;-D

There is no shame in walking - you all had to walk before you could run. Enjoy the time in San Francisco and walking with Jodie for ?6 hours?? That is how long it took me to walk the Chicago Marathion. I'll be walking the Detroit Freepress 1/2 on Sunday and I'll be thinking of you.

Enjoy!!

Try doing non-impact workouts for your taper such as pool running and cycling...

I really hope this passes and that it is nothing serious.

Hope you had a really good Thanksgiving and that you and Jodie have a great time in San Francisco. Bring home the Tiffany!

Crap! Too bad about that. But at least you will be able to enjoy the aid stations, entertainment, and scenery more! : ] Have fun and enjoy the day (and take lots of pictures!).
