So I mentioned that I am running the Philly Half Marathon in November...I have been cautiously considering shooting for a sub 2:00 finish time, and up until this past Saturday, I wasn't ready to fully commit. But...here goes, with all of you as my witness: I am shooting for sub 2:00 (9:09 pace) on November 18! I ran with 13.1 with the team on saturday, and managed to finish in 2:02 (9:15 pace). I felt great, not sore at all, and this has given me the confidence to go for it!
I also called my PT to schedule a "tune-up". I'm not hurt, but I want to keep it that way. My body tends to go out of alignment from the hips up, and I can sort of feel that my gait is off a bit. I figure I'll let Kathleen work on me a bit, which will hopefully allow me to continue on injury-free.
Just got an email from one of my training buddies...an x-ray shows that she has a slight stress fracture in her 5th metatarsal, ugh! Please join me in hoping the MRI shows nothing more severe!
