June 27, 2009 – the day of a new dawn. At least for me! A friend of mine convinced me to sign up for the half marathon. I’m afraidI’m going to die, worse case scenario – shin splints or fractured pelvis*, best case scenario! To prevent this, I think I may end up running/jogging a mile, then walking, then jogging/running, then walking, etc. I don’t want to be on crutches for 6-8 weeks(see asterisk!)….I’m all paid up and registered though, so no getting out of it now. C’mon, Jon, let’s get running!
The Course!
I’m not going to be breaking any records, but I’m doing it. Even if I end up walking it. (Which at this point, I might!)
*When I was about 15 I fractured my pelvis playing basketball. Apparently it’s a common runner’s fracture, so I’m afraid I might be easily susceptible to it happening again…wish me luck – that it DOESN’T happen again.
