I apologize greatly. I was in a funk for a long time and feeling deeply uninspired by running, but I kept doing it - just chose not to write about it. I hope you'll stick around because I'll be back... soon.

I'm not very impressed with the route.
The first half mile was downhill, which in normal situations would be ok by me but it made it difficult for me to start out slowly, which is what I needed considering my pinched nerve issue. Then the next mile Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14948009358981890273noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177754975412515963.post-12894899663734040752011-04-15T15:45:00.000-05:002011-04-15T15:45:05.967-05:00It's been a while, but I'm still around!In recent weeks, I've been doing some soul searching. I had to change my 2011 goals because I thought I was injured again. It turns out I wasn't, but the concept of being injured yet again prompted me to put on the brakes. Do I really need to run 8 half marathons in one year?? No. Do I really need to earn Half Fanatics AND Marathon Maniacs status in one year? No. Do I need to Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14948009358981890273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177754975412515963.post-82093919831026020102011-03-29T21:00:00.000-05:002011-03-29T21:00:31.288-05:00And I'm back...I had an appointment with Dr. Lake on Friday and explained the way the pain in my heel felt and where it was located. Without doing anything at all, she told me it was nerve related. So, of course, hearing that I feared the worst and told her I was terrified to let her touch my heel. She said she could fix it without even touching my heel. Awesome news. She said that it is all Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14948009358981890273noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177754975412515963.post-77094382757087762812011-03-21T20:42:00.000-05:002011-03-21T20:42:52.850-05:00On the injured reserve, yet again...So, after my 6.2 miler out at Wildcat Den, I've been having a problem with my right Achilles. So, I'm down for a bit. I don't want to have the same problem with the Achilles that I had with the posterior tibial tendon, so I'm resting like I should. I have an appointment with Dr. Lake set for Monday, but I'm thinking about seeing if she can get me in yet this week.

I don't know how I'm going to get through all this training if I can't find some new places to knock out the miles. Anyhow, as I was climbing the first hill, which seemed to be the height of Mt. Everest and about as steep as a Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14948009358981890273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177754975412515963.post-78211783992755625652011-03-13T22:43:00.000-05:002011-03-13T22:43:40.665-05:00My first Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend RecapIn August, 2010, I made the decision that I was going to run a half marathon... And I chose to do it with Team in Training. This afforded me the opportunity to make my first half marathon a day to remember for a lifetime. Team in Training made it possible for me to run my first half marathon, go to Walt Disney World for the very first time, and to meet Melanie and Crystal, my two veryJennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14948009358981890273noreply@blogger.com0
