Yes, the race is upon us! Super excited to see all of you! I do have some bad news though- I have a stress fracture in my right foot :(
My foot has been bothering me for a long while now and I finally went and got it checked out. The doc did an xray but normally stress fractures don't show up on xrays... They wanted me to do an MRI to truly diagnose the fracture but I didn't want to pay for that, so I didn't actually get the MRI done. I asked what they would do for me if it was a stress fracture- they said to just stop the repetitive motion of running for 6 weeks and then slowly start with the activity again. I can handle that without having to pay money for an MRI.
I was so angry/sad about this though. I told myself that I was going to run anyway... My husband doesn't agree with me because he has to be the one to listen to me complain so much about the pain in my foot. Right now, I don't know if I will run the full 1/2 marathon or maybe I will just switch to the 5 k.... I still want to race after working and training for so long... But I haven't ran for like a week and a half now. I might try a short run tomorrow and see how it goes.
Just thought I would let you all know that I may or may not be participating :( But I will definitely be there to cheer you all on if I can't run!
Also- I forgot to mention my nice surprise- AMY IS COMING!!!!!!!!!! Yep, my amazing cousin, Amy, is going to be flying in on Thursday to cheer us all on! She is so much fun for the people who don't really know her- you will love her!
