I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

I went to go run on the treadmill at the gym and started out nice and slow but could hardly run. I was definitely limping so I decided to bag my run and stretch. I feel like my sciatic nerve is pinching on my right side. I made an appointment to go see my my Chiropractor and see if that will help things. I am kicking myself for racing Saturday. I knew things weren't feeling 100% and I should have taken it more easy. I just hope that I can get adjusted and ice and see if that'll help things. I actually hurt from low back down to my knee. The pain isn't terrible but because it is pinching, it makes it hard to run. Walking is fine though. I will see what he says this afternoon and pray in the meantime:)

Hopefully the adjustment will correct the problem. Now is not the time for you to get injured.

Michelle, Your not quite 48 hours from running a hard half marathon. You need to ice and stretch and get better. Now snap out of it! Get back out there, we need you! We cant win this without a team. ;)
