Officially I ran the Pocatello Half Marathon. I don't even know what my time was though. After the start of the half, I crossed the timing mat and walked out to the road where the marathoners were coming by. Larry (Smooth's amazing husband) was there and I chatted with him for about 8 minutes when Doone came running by. Off I went. I asked Doone how she was doing and could tell she was working a bit hard to keep that pace up for the rest of the race, so I didn't push her, just tried to remain positive.
The first few miles my leg was a bit sore, but then I had no more pain for the rest of the race. Teena helped my KT tape it up the night before. She's good. She's going to be the best PT ever. You guys who live close to her and will be able to use her sevices are lucky.
Anyways it was a beautiful day for a run. I had lots of fun and my leg doesn't seem any worse for having done it. I think I'm going to take it really easy for another month and hope that I can put this injury completely behind me.
It was so much fun to see Smooth, Larry, Teena, and Kathie the night before the race and after the race. You all are awesome! Congrats on your great races. I hope to see you all soon. |
