Miscellaneous Memoirs

After the Austin Half I went to the doc and was on crutches for a week because he thought I had sprained some tendons in my right foot.  THEN it got worse and my left foot had pain so I went to a sports medicine guy and I have tendonitis in both legs/feet.  BOO!  I was frustrated that I spent a week going through the horrible hassle of using crutches but I have been seeing the physical therapist and can thankfully walk mostly without pain now! This is just not pleasant though.  I haven't run in more than two weeks and I'm worried about it and anxious to start back but I still don't think I am quite ready. 

I have exercises and stretches to do daily and I am still going to PT so hopefully I can try to take an easy run early this week.  I just am afraid to re-injure myself and make it worse.  According to my PT and coach I should be able to ease back into it and get right back on track for my marathon that is in 54 days!  They are both really encouraging and I need them! 

I am still so excited to run in Nashville, injuries or not and I am trying to stay positive.  It feels weird that I feel weird about not running, and I like that! 

This weekend is also the Austin Sports and Social League Annual Kickball Tournament and I am pumped to be joining my championship co-ed softball team for a day of fun kickballing.  I think my legs and feet should be ok, granted my easy runs before Saturday go well. 

I have been trying to keep up my cardio by doing spin class and getting on the ellipitical.  I also did yoga this weekend, which was super awesome.  I had taken a class or two before but must not have been into it because I went this weekend and LOVED it! 

Jill, my bff and roomate from ACU came in town last weekend and we had a blast.  Party bus, rebels honky tonk, crazy cab drivers and so many more things Jill and I will have in our hearts forever (ha) made for a ridiculous and memorable time.  I love and miss Jill and will post pictures soon. 

My brother has for real pneumonia...It's crazy that he has it and he has been sick for almost a month now but is finally starting to feel better.  Poor Clintonious.  He is a trooper.  I went to Waco last Sunday to help him and went to the grocery store, etc.  I would be crying for my mommy if I were him. 

My fundraising is going awesome! I am about $400 away from my minimum and I have raised 85% of my goal!  One more fundraiser is in the works and it is going to involve April Fools, beer pong and flip cup tournaments and it will be awesome! 

So lots of good and weird stuff going on but I am excited about March!  My second favorite holiday, St. Patty's Day, my trip to see Bree in D.C., increased mileage, hopefully, kickball, fundraising party, etc will make for a great month! 

Thanks for all your support!
