Details! Thanks for asking!

I had been dealing with some issues in my right hip. I was able to work through it with my chiropractor. I do a ton of exercises after every run, and plenty of ice! After 4 visits, two weeks without running, I was back on my feet. I switched shoes, and I have been running mostly on trails (which is hard, because I live in Midtown Atlanta!). I even hired my DH's coach to help me train more carefully! I am doing well, though I can tell that I still have to be careful! I was feeling pretty superstitious, which is part of why I wasn't even posting on here! I didn't want to mess up what I had just healed (as if typing would do it!).

I've gotten up to 20 in my long runs, and I think I am still on my way to doing disney in January! I did a 15K trail race a couple of weeks ago, and a Zooma Half Marathon. The Zooma is a mostly women's half, which was great! It was well organized, and other than the fact that my legs were exhausted from way too much running that week, it was fun!

The run on Thanksgiving was great! My legs still felt almost frozen the first four miles. I did not run much between the 20 miler sunday and the half on Thursday, and my legs felt like bricks. After about 4 miles, I was warmed up and feeling great. This was the big race for the girlfriend I run with on some of my shorter runs, so I got to really cheer her on. I was really feeling great for the last 5K. I think my friend was about to run off and leave me because I was so chatty at the end and everyone around us was suffering those last few miles in silence! I think that it the strangest part of training for a marathon...you really wake up after ten miles! I never thought I would say that!

I got a nice 6 miler in today at my parent's house, and tomorrow it is 10 on trails! It is supposed to rain most of the day though!
