Run Run Run

CRAZY! I take off in a couple hours for Portland, OR to run a marathon on Sunday. Am I crazy??? YES! This will be marathon 2... I've heard 2nd marathons are always harder then their predecessor, so I'm living in major gut wrenching fear at the moment!

I'm super excited (and nervous - as in I wanna $%#& in my pants sorta nervous), but of course... I sprained my knee Wednesday night on a run with the Top 2 Top running club. UUUGH! I was running a kick ass sub 9 minute mile (with walk breaks!) and slipped on a pine cone around mile 2. My ankle rolled to the right and my left knee stopped cooperating and tweaked out. As I tumbled to the ground, I had a heart wrenching flashy image of my marathon dreams ending once and for all. Sigh...

So after icing, elevating, resting, and a mother of all braces - we'll see how this little puppy holds up for 26.2 miles.

Keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned for an update!
