A little dust couldn't hurt!

tlh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,065 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/31/2008	I'm running in a half marathon Sunday, in preparation for the FULL MARATHON in 14 weeks. I have been wobbling around w/ a bad case of bursitis (rt knee), and plantar fasciaiitis (rt foot). If you could spare just a pinch of dust that I will finish w/o worsening these injuries, and gasp DO WELL, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much, for even the eensiest bit of love you can throw my way! "I like smiling. Smiling's my favorite!" Will Ferrell ~ Elf

The longest race I've run is 30k (18.75 miles) and I haven't been able to work up the determination or desire to run much longer than that! Lots and lots of dust to you!!!!

I know how you feel. A week before I did my last marathon, I had a severe attack of gout and my knee swelled up like a melon. I could not walk without major pain. The day of the marathon I still didn't know how long I could run but I was going to start anyway just so I could get the t-shirt. My goal was to go easy and finish 1K and then call it quits. Well, 1k turned into 10K, then before you know it I was at the halfway point. Since I was doing fine (going slow even though the adrenaline wanted me to go faster), I knew I could finish without injuring myself so I called my wife and told her to meet me at the finish line. It was the slowest time of all my marathons, but I finished it and enjoyed the accomplishment all the same.

tlh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,065 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/31/2008	Porridge, Thanks so much! I appreciate your kuddos! SammyJ THANKS! I know you'll get up the muster, so I appreciate your support and all your dust! I also love that you know how this can STINK! wink! Whatmeworry- Thanks. I am just injury prone, and a little scared. See I injured my knee last year running and it took 6 months of PT just to get over the issues... just to have them all come back again with some friends to bite me in the behind. Plus I have a cold now on top of it. Your story helped me get my focus. I know I can do it... I JUST HATE DOING IT SLOW. But I guess if we didn't do it slow sometimes, what would people have to sing about, sure gave Marvyn Gaye a career! wink! So thanks guys! Off to the EXPO! "I like smiling. Smiling's my favorite!"
