Everything about my title seems wrong. I am glad I was given the green light to run though.
Today was my first run since I found out I have a stress fracture. It didn't feel good.
I am having second thoughts about running the Chicago Marathon. Is this really the smart thing to do?
I ran 5 miles today at a 8:49 pace and it was hard. I think why it feels so hard is because I am not running efficiently. The reason, I think, is because I am trying to compensate for my foot pain.
I then went to the gym and did 4.5 miles on the elliptical. I wanted to do 5 but could not make it. It is so boring and I was exhausted. This weekend I am supposed to double this work out (10 running miles, 10 miles on the elliptical).
I am torn on what to do. I really want to run the Chicago Marathon. But I really really want to be able to run MANY more marathons in the future.
I guess I will just keep pushing forward (carefully), listen to my body, and see what happens.
