I have been sidelined twice by my right foot the last year, first PF & recently a stress fracture. Putting in some miles on the bike is the best thing I have done in years. (I think pool running sucks so we may have that in common). I hope that you can salvage some of your running goals, in a new and different way that might even be better than your original ones!<br /><br />Thanks again for your giveaway!

Yo...My buddy Jen...I'm so with you on this one! You have a great attitude and I want to thank you so much to listening to my mindless dribble all the time. Running is an emotional sport with highs and lows. One of my favorite quotes is "We don't know who we are until we see what we can do" Whether running the next marathon or overcoming an injury it proves to ourselves who we are and what we can do. I think overcoming an injury with a good attitude is just as hard (or harder) than training and running a marathon. Wow that was a long comment.

You can strengthen your running by cross training (you're doing that). And.. you are SO right. You have YEARS to run. If you get to the scheduled marathon this year, super! If not, wait 6 mos. and go out strong, feeling 100%.<br />You'll get there.
