Hello Long Forgotten Blog

Wow! Been almost two years since I last posted. I got past my running breakdown. I am still running, even more than two years ago. Currently, I am resting a tibial stress fracture, so had to miss running the Rocket City Marathon yesterday. I volunteered as course sentry and got to see the winner fly past me twice. He makes running look so effortless!

I have big plans for 2019! Big running plans! Going to attempt to run a marathon a month. I have them all chosen and the first 6 paid for.  It's going to be a great year. Which is awesome since 2018 has sucked! Personally speaking, not the running, well, except for the fracture.

My 2018 running goal race was Dizzy Fifties back in November. A trail 50k. I did run it with the fracture, but because of the softer surface, it didn't bother me. My original goal was 8 hours. With the fracture, I just wanted to finish under the 9 hour time limit. Finished with 10 minutes to spare! Goal achieved! I rested a week, then ran 10 miles at home, on the roads. Pain returned, Dr threatened to put me in boot. I have resisted the temptation to run, been a good girl, resting my tired shin.  Physical therapy starts next week. And, I think I shall try deep water running to keep up my aerobic stamina.

Big plans, big goals, high expectations for 2019!  Looking forward to sharing my journey with anyone out there listening.

Much Love and even More Miles,
Melissa
