2 miles
Easy- 30 min
Felt like (1-10): 9!!

Yeaaaaa! Went to the doctor at lunch who told me to go EASY and slow getting back into it. Tonight was Tuesday track. First time in months that I've been able to run without the pain! It's awesome. But I took it easy and only did 4 of the 6 required 800's. It felt great to run again. Still gotta ease back into it, but there's hope yet. I know I'm way behind on the training. This saturday is supposed to be 17 miles! ahhhhhh! I know I won't do all 17, that's for sure...but I gotta find a way to catch up without injury, so I can make it to 26.2 miles come june. Thanks for everyone's support the last couple of weeks.

Tears...

So...no posts because I haven't been running. I ran one day last week and even that was near walking. I'm starting to feel all the weight come back around my mid section. It sucks. I saw a podiatrist yesterday who told me he wanted to put my foot in a cast so I would be forced to rest it for 4 weeks. I started gasping and hyperventilating...ok, so i wasn't being that dramatic but he could see I seriously disturbed with this idea. We went over the x-rays and nothing is broken but he thinks there might be some ligament damage that isn't healing and I need to just rest it. If I do continue running, it will just hurt like it does now. Sighs...and many tears. I've already paid for the marathon and everything. I don't know what to do. So for now...no running for the next couple of weeks. I see the doc in 2 weeks again and we'll see what it looks like again. I'm going to get massaged like crazy!
