Run For the Bling of It!

If you're up for a challenge, here's one for you: Sherry of Life From My Persepctive and Lesley of Racing it Off have teamed up to give us Run For the Bling of It!  The challenge: twelve races in twelve months, and post your bling!  Sounds easy enough, right?  So sign up, already! Show us your bling!

Oh, and I visited the physical therapist today, and he did dreadful things to my back and I am really sore right now!  Ouch! But he says my healing is going well, I am ahead of schedule (I haven't seen him for two weeks because of the holiday) and he thinks I won't have a problem at Disney if I sprinkle in some walk breaks.  Woot woot!  Now, I was going to go anyway - not that I recommend that with every injury, mind you, but mine is clearly a soft-tissue injury of the back.  Running aggravates it (terribly so at the end of a long run) but I'm unlikely to do any long term damage to my fool self by pressing ahead, and I know that.

My therapist recommended no more than five miles between walk breaks, which is much better than I had expected. So, we'll see how I feel.  I am going to finish this race, darn it!  T minus 6 days and counting!

  13. Wow, look at you go, and you haven't even gotten to the start line yet!
    Incredible conviction. I feel kind of silly now, I recently updated my Facebook status to: no more exercising, only laying on couch eating chocolate...
