Hi everyone,A couple updates:
- we are now close to marathon day (it's on november 1st for those not following) - 15 days to go
- I have reached and exceeded my fundraising goal! Youhou!! Thanks to every single one of you for making a difference and helping the kids! It's a great cause and I am sooo happy :-)
- I finally found out what was wrong with my "ass" - I hurt my IT band. so it seems like it's a normal runner's injury. I have stretches that I do now, along with icing it after practice and trying to build strength too.
Overall - I am in GREAT spririt for the big day. A little nervous about not being allowed to run for long times (sort of got used to that, it helps me clear my mind)...but overall, knowing what was wrong with me has been a great relief.
In this 4/5 month training, the two reliefs were when I finally met the fundraising goal and now that I understand what is wrong with my ass/knee. As you followed, I was willing and ready to run 26.2mi with extreme pain...I sort of preferred knowing why and trying to fix it :-)
So, here is a pic from last week's long run - the end is in sight and fast approaching. thanks for all the support and I guess we'll be in touch for round 2 (another marathon, a couple half marathons or a triathlon??? who knows!)
Cheers
