My injury is doing better! The past few weeks I’ve been going to Physical Therapy, doing strengthening and stretching exercises, and… well… not running. :\ But the past few days things have been looking up, and I did 2 miles on the treadmill on Saturday and today I’ll head back to the gym to try to do more. I’m hoping that 2010 can start off right with a good recovery from my injury.

Due to the unexpected setback, I’ll have to revise my 2010 goals. After 3 weeks of no running, I’m in no shape to jump back into marathon training, especially since I’m not fully healed. It’s going to take a few weeks to build back up the mileage I was doing, and the last thing I want to do is re-injure myself. And so I’ve decided to not run the National Marathon in March – it kills me to have to postpone that dream, but I know its the right thing to do. I’m young and there will be plenty of other marathons to run.

Although I won’t be running the full marathon, I will run the half. With a little over 3 months to get back into the swing of things, I know I can do it.

I hope everyone had a great holiday!
