JAX Half--I signed up to run the Jacksonville Half a while ago, hoping having a goal would help me focus on healing. Well, my foot felt great when I started running. I ran 4 miles, and then all of a sudden, my kneecaps felt like they completely ripped apart. I couldn't run another step. It was awful! So I decided that instead of suffering through 8 really cold, slow, painful miles, it was just easier to throw in the towel and focus on healing even more.

PT Test--I also came to the realization today that this will be the first time I don't get a 100% on my PT test. I did a practice run today, and my back was so sore that I had to stop. Before I take my test, I'll make sure I'm completely hydrated, my body has time to rest, and I keep running in the meantime. Kind of nervous about it though... Ugh!

I love running--I just gotta remember that I love running. It's fun, I feel good when I run, and I love the sense of accomplishment and the feeling of hard work. Being able to run is a privilege that I haven't had over the past year.
