First Official Race

I ran in my first official race this past weekend! Chad and I ran in the Luke's Half marathon. We ran as a relay team. It was so much fun. I am so proud of Chad. He really supported me and was there for me. I ran the first leg and he ran in the finish. I waited for him the last quarter of a mile and we ran it in together. All of my turtle friends were there and so were Nicole and Tywon cheering us on at the finish line. It was a great moment! I felt great after the run. It was only 6.6 miles so I was used to that distance. Chad, on the other hand ,well he's not feeling so hot but since he made such an effort to be there for me I won't give up the juicy details...

Off to See Dr. Scott

Good news and bad news... The good news is I have actually made it 12 miles. It was torture but I made it The bad news is that I hurt myslef somewhere around mile 9. Since then my hip/groin area has been giving me some trouble. I finally decided to bite the bullet and go to see Dr. Scott. I've been getting deep tissue massages and chiropractic adjustments. The adjustments freak me out. I can not stand hearing my own bones crack. I was so bruised after the first massage but I have to say I think they are working. I did not run the 13 miles this past weekend but I think the rest was good for me. I ran tonight and feel good. I am going to take it easy this week and hopefully amke it out on Saturday for the long run. I actually had my first sports related injury. I'm so proud!
