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!

Pity Party is officially over!

Morning: Here is my plan.  Walking is not as painful as running.  I have just walked 3.3 miles and now I am icing my leg.  In an hour I will walk until it hurts again and keep this up until I reach 8 miles or the pain is too intense.  I feel than now that I have a plan it is helping me feel in control.  If you feel this plan is not what it needs to be let me know!

Afternoon: 3.7 miles I wanted to go one more to get it over with but to tell the truth I pushed a little to hard to get the .7 now back to icing I will try to go for 3 more tonight, if it doesn't happen I am happy with 7 miles today.

Evening: 3 more miles I should have stopped at 2

5 easy miles at 9:13 (at least I was running yea!) I tried to do the last mile at marathon pace but it did feel right so I slowed down.

Lifted for legs

This is going to be really short, we had a blast I ran the best I could and we took sixth place. The head wind at the end was killer but other than that it was a great race.  I will add more if I get time.
