On May 19, 2012 I ran my 1st ever marathon! And it was a TRAIL marathon! I loved every minute of it. That would be 430 minutes of love. A lot, I know, but it was still very cool. I had been dealing with this hip/leg pain that slowed my training before the race and definitely slowed me down during the race. I've done some physical therapy (not as much as I should tho) and I've had 1 round of oral steroids. I've held off on running to give it as much chance to heal before starting my 50 mile training plan at the end of this month. Anxious to see how it feels now.
Yes, now it's time to get down to business! I hope & pray I can take the heat and the pain! I've been reading the book "Born to Run." Very great book. There is a quote in there that says this:
“Make friends with pain, and you will never be alone.~Ken Chlouber, Colorado miner and creator of the Leadville Trail 100 mile race”
I believe that this shall be the quote for me to live by for the next 25 weeks or so. ;-)
