I was injured (IT Band) for Portland marathon (fall 2010) but went and picked up my packet anyway. Ran Ogden 4:26....

Funny how when I went to write 2 miles, the computer wanted to auto fill with 21 miles. Nope, 2 miles - on the TM in my basement. However, I feel the time off for my rib to fuse together was worth it. I will slowly gather miles, speed and endurance under my belt. I will be stronger. I will be faster. I will my body to work in unison with my spirit and mind to be fully whole once again. I have really missed running. So for today, I celebrate my two miles.

Great job, welcome back. I hope you are healing up well from the injury. I was sorry to hear about it, but know you will come back strong.

Wishing you the best! Congrats on the run.
