Hello All! It has been FAR too long since I've posted here. The past two months of my road to Vancouver have been rocky to say the least. After the great high of running four miles at the very beginning of February I've been struggling (to say the least).
A walking cast, crutches, a few hundred dollars (I hope that's all) and a pair of orthodics later....I think it will be okay for me to start walking again....lets hope! My doctor says it could take a year or more before I am fully healed and completely pain free (hopefully, hopefully) so I have to take things slow.
What this means: Well I'm not exactly sure. Birch Bay is going to have to be a no go--I'd like to say there is still a glimmer of hope I'd at least walk it, but in order to avoid injury it will most likely be a no go. As for Vancouver....well that's still to be determined. I might try to downgrade to the 8K or I might walk most of the half.
Thanks to all for rides to the doctor and encouragement. I'm looking foward to cheering you on at the Birch Bay Race.
Happy training!

Welcome back to posting Heids!!! I'm bummed for you, but I also like your "warrior" attitude. Just because Birch Bay/Vancouver aren't going to work out as planned, doesn't mean you need to give up all together...there's always later this year/next year to do longer/more intense events. Love ya sis!
