Well I am back to normal and running again. I ran 4 miles with the TNT Nike Team... going to San Francisco to do their first marathon... congrats to my friend Amantha who is on this team and raising funds for a cure! Then on Sunday I went for a run around my neighborhood for 5 miles. My goal was to complete it in as little time as possible... here is why!
I have been bugging Jeremy too no end about going to Phoenix Rock'n'Roll marathon and doing my second marathon through Team in Training... but this time I will do it as a mentor and I plan on finishing stronger than before... see my post "sea of purple"! It was a bad race from the go and I want to see if I can do better and end better... a personal goal and this course is supposedly flat and fast so I can try to beat my time and not end up in the medical tent! Jeremy loves me so much and has been worried about me since my bad finish in San Diego!
Update:
Jeremy didn't cave and he wants me to let everyone know this... we talked the whole marathon thing out this weekend I was worried that one or both of us could get hurt with that Challenge mentioned on Sat about whomever wins at the Disney Half Marathon... so he has agreed that I can do the marathon regardless of who the winner is at the Disney half marathon... it is still a race and I am still working on my pace to insure I kick his butt (with love of course)!
His reasoning and assurance with me doing the Phoenix Rock'n'Roll Marathon is that since Darin is going to be the head coach again next season and Paul will be the assistant coach next season. Jeremy felt comfortable that I will be in good hands just in case something does happen... IF for some reason my knees, hips or other body parts don't feel right, I have promised to step out of the marathon and do the half marathon... As he said he would have more respect for me making this decision than pushing myself into having surgery on something because of the pains! I haven't experienced much pain in my running... not like others have... so I have no doubt that this will be an awesome race... Jan. 18th!
Since I am going to continue with Team in Training and will be doing another Rock'n'Roll Marathon... I have decided to keep this site up and running until the end of January 2009 or longer!
Stay tuned on my Rock Star Running... signing off... Melissa Live!
