Make Way for Ducklings | Challenged and Running in the Bike Lane

Injured. Injury started 8/23. I really pissed it off with the Disneyland half marathon on 9/2. Doctor’s orders on 9/7 for no exercise 2 weeks from the time of the half marathon. On Wednesday, 9/12 I felt absolutely no pain in my leg all day long. Been going strong ever since.

Ill. Mid morning on Thursday, 9/13 my nose started running. Perhaps it felt sympathy for my legs not being able to run because it started running and would not stop! I left work early on Friday because I was running a fever. I’m still sick.

Inclined. Before I run again, I need to visit my local running store to pick up a new pair of shoes. I’d like to return to my running routine on Wednesday…nice and slow like the doctor said!

I miss Boston. The blog world is all a-buzz about Boston right now. I have my fingers crossed for many of you that you’ll get in!!! Chances are excellent I will never run Boston…for 1) I don’t have a desire to run a marathon – a requirement to qualify and 2) I am a slow runner – people finish full marathons in the time it takes me to run a half!

D is Arizona born and raised so in October 2010, I took her to visit my sister in Boston for the very first time. I absolutely love Boston, fall is my favorite time of year there, and I think everyone should visit this amazing city! To further spike the Boston marathon fever, below are a couple of my favorite pictures from our first 24 hours in Boston October 2010.
