I’m starting to feel normal again. I ran/walked around 3 miles on Monday and ran a 5k on the treadmill today. I’m still going to the doctor first thing next week. I’m not taking any chances. I was reading another runner’s blog this week and I will have to agree with him that training for a marathon takes up you life. I don’t understand how people can have a full-time job, be a parent, and manage to find time to run 5 to 10 miles every other day. I can barely make time to run 6 miles in one day and I’m single!
If I get through this marathon in two weeks, it will probably be the last major race of the year. Training for a marathon takes too much time and somehow it takes the fun out of running. I think I’ll still with half marathons after this one. I did find some running partners to do long runs with and that is exciting. Let me get through the next two to three weeks and I can have a life again!
