I went running with some friends and family this morning. I stayed with Britnee and Elijah, and we did 9.15 miles in 1:35:36. Nice and easy. My PT was there, and we discussed options for my treatment. He told me that if I wanted to continue running for the rest of my life, I needed to deal with this now, and will have to take 6 weeks off from running and most other forms of exercise. Such a major bummer! So I will have to cancel my 1/2 marathon next month, and will be WAY behind on my training goals for the Ogden Marathon in May. Ah, well. Such is life. Better to take it easy today and get to play later than to play now and pay for the rest of my life. I just might sneak another run or two in before I begin my decompression treatment, though! Shhhh..... :D |
