Waited around all day trying to decide whether I should run or not.  My leg has never really hurt but it feels like it is going to sleep all the time.  You know that painful prickly sensation.  Around 4:00 I watched how to tape my leg with KT tape and put some on.  Wow it felt so much better I headed out knowing I could do my tempo run for the day. Just .5 miles in I could feel the pain increasing I pushed on until I hit the mile mark and then turned around. 

I have never been afraid that I couldn't finish a marathon until now.  Only 7 weeks until Boston and I am not feeling ready at all.  As I am writing this the pain in my leg has increased a lot. I am going to go cry!

Yeah, I'd be a bit concerned too! Do you know what's causing the pain--a running injury or something else? I hope you get it figured out soon!

There must be something in the air. You are going to be fine. There is no crying in running.

Oh NO Kathie! I am so sorry your leg still hurts. Hmmm, may be you should go see our very own PT-in-training, aka Teena, and let her work some magic. Did you do the RICE thing? Does it help to massage or roll it?

Let's figure this out and get you healed up quick!
