I am sad to report today that I will be
unable to participate in this year's Fox Cities Marathon on September 19th, 2010. While playing softball this past Thursday, I fell awkwardly while trying to beat out a throw to first base. The scrapes and bruises are healing fine, but ended up with a muscle tear in my chest. Among other daily tasks, running is painful. I tried a few times this week, but it was labored and painful. I have stopped training.
Even if I do heal up and I am able to run in a week or so, I was already on the edge of being ready by the 19th. This delay makes it impossible for me to be ready. I have contemplated trying the half marathon if I feel better, or perhaps I will run the 5K on Saturday with Christa.
I was really excited to run the marathon, and I know I will do one in the future. I appreciate everyone's support and encouragement as I was getting ready.
