Personal:

I am a 27 year old girl, from Illinois (via NYC), currently living in Austin, TX.  

I've been running for about 6 years, have completed 14 marathons and recently qualified for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:34!  This was a 23 minute PR for me!

After years of running very high mileage at pretty slow paces, I decided to get serious and joined Gilbert's Gazelles training group. The BQ came 8 months later.

Hoping this blog will help add some further insight and organization to my running. :)

Mile swim...really loving all of the swimming in the morning.

On Monday, I am actually starting a swim clinic with a local group called T3 to get my stroke more efficient.  Pretty excited about it..first step to the tri world I guess. :)

Was so nervous to go try a "real" run yesterday...  Met my friend Ken for an easy 4 miles around the trail.  Felt pretty good! No sharp pain around where the hamstring probably tore, just general soreness around most of the leg/hip. Pace was actually fine, around 8:30 average. I was so chatty because I've been kinda missing out on my social life with this whole injury thing!!

Saw my doc this morning, and based on that update he cleared me to run distance! No speed work for 2 weeks, but I can run however much I feel comfortable on the trail.  He said that the slower running will not reinjure it, and that I should just continue to stretch the psoas and quads.  No doc appt until a week from now! Yay!

Will rest it today (Thursday) and hope to try another 4-5 miles tomorrow morning.

My sports doc wanted me to try and run a mile today...so of course I went over a bit and did about 1.5 miles.

Leg felt tight but no sharp pain - so I will take that.

Going to try and run 2-3 miles on Wednesday morning, probably on the trail.

Tomorrow morning it's of to swim 1 mile at the pool..which unfortunately takes so much longer than running 1 mile.
