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. :)

Hey there!

So I got my MRI results back and it turns out I have a stress fracture on the pelvis. Have been resting from running. Doing some bike, swim and yoga for now.

It has been 4 weeks. Everything I've heard is about an 8 week recovery. I will get there!!

Thanks for checking in!

Bummer...! But maybe it's nice to take a break from running and just bike and swim for a while. Looking forward to see you back on the blog soon :-)

Now that you are healthy and running again, when are you going to start blogging?

David - valid point. I ran 7 miles at noon today in the heat and humidity. It was horrible. 5 months today since I got injured. Sooo need to get back in shape. I've been to one gzl workout so far. I think next week may be the week!
