Personal:

I am 26 years old. I am the Production Coordinator for all visual communications for Kiawah Island Real Estate. I've been a runner since high school, and I have a competitive nature that should explain my high mileage. I challenge myself to accomplish what I never imagined I could do, and I try to encourage myself and others to push their limits. I'm usually late to parties and social gatherings, since I have to get the run in first...(but luckily, I have great friends who acknowledge my routine). I suffered a bad case of plantar fasciitis March of 2010, and I picked up cycling/spinning while I recovered. Surprisingly, I totally loved it. I only ran on a whim or on weekends, or on vacation days when my gym was closed. This fall, I finally got back into the swing of things and started racing again. I'll try to update my races and runs more frequently. I'd like to be where I was 2 years ago....12 miles a day...I mean...what?!?! =)

So I tripped and fell during this run...terrible. Luckily it was dark and no one saw me. I was run off the sidewalk by a jerk on a bike, and I landed on my hip (note to self: try to get fatter hips to cushion the bone in the event of a fall). I think all is well, aside from a nasty bruise and a little bit of swelling. Bony hips = pain. Hips are a lot like the funny bone, they are equally un-funny upon impact.

Ah, poor Mary. I'm not sure fatter hips are the answer, but if you really are going for that I've got some useful tips and recipes. LOL!

With your mileage fatter hips might be difficult. A better alternative might be two dozen bags of marshmallows and a roll of duct tape. And remember to run softly but carry a big stick...
