Week 15 of 16
One more week. ONE MORE WEEK! Can you believe it? These last 15 weeks FLEW by!
Am I excited? Yes.
Am I nervous? Absolutely. Getting
injured after my 20-miler really threw me for a loop. I don’t know what’s going to happen on race
day but I do know that I AM going to run.
There has been so many people supporting me on this journey and I can’t
let them down. The good news is while
last week I was in denial, this week I was determined to do everything in my
power to get to the start line pain-free. I got in the pool. I used
RockTape. I foam rolled. I added (a little) strength exercises. I took a lot of ibuprofen. I didn’t spin. I didn’t run with Georgie. Joe has been a big resource this week and I
am happy to report that I had 2 pain-free runs this week. I could still FEEL something wasn’t right but
I will take it.
With one more week to go, the
confidence is building—with caution. I
can’t wait to get down to Houston and see my family. Everything will be ok.

G mileage disclaimer:
None of the mileage reported with Georgie is straight, consistent running. We
may run 1 mile in 9 or 10 minutes but in reality we probably covered a 2-3 mile
distance with a mix of walking and running.
I stop my watch every time we start walking.
