First run Post-Marathon

I ran this morning. Just 2 miles. But I needed it! The addiction to running is so powerful. However, I think I shouldn’t have run. I’m a little concerned about my right foot.

The top of my right foot on the mid to outer edge hurt on and off during the run. This is the first time it has hurt since the Marathon and so I’m concerned. I don’t think its a stress fracture, maybe just a strain, but now every little pain I feel in my foot has me concerned. Anybody have any ideas what this could be?

Also, when I first started running this morning (on the treadmill) it felt like little bolts in the arch of that same foot. That went away, and I was left with the top of the foot pain but now I’m concerned. I don’t want to be hurt and I want to be able to run a 5k on the 21st.

I’m still working on that recap. I’m not sure if I want to just recap the race or the entire weekend. Maybe two posts are in order!

Hope you all have a great weekend friends!

I’m home

The post Marathon, Chicago-vacation-is-over blues are starting to set in. I have a recap percolating in my brain. But how can I put into words how amazing this trip was? My first full Marathon, a vacation with some amazing friends, and i got to meet so many amazing people that I’ve been following for a long time now.

It was awesome.

For now, I’m going to bed, to dream of this amazing experience. I’m exhausted! Have a great night friends!

I did it! I ran my first Marathon! I owned Chicago! 26.2 done! 5:33:03

Sometimes, your feet and back hurt enough that you have to take a cab back to your hotel.

That’s only a mile away.

Best $6 we ever spent.

What? We’re running a Marathon tomorrow!

I found some of the internet! Left to right, Bailee, David, Lindsay, me, and Rebecca!

View from our hotel room. We’re right on the river! So excited to run Chicago!

We’re here!

Where is everyone? Lindsay and i wanna meet up! Although at some point today a nap might be in order…

About to leave for Chicago!

Getting up at 345 am sucks. But you know what’s awesome? Flying to Chicago to meet the internet and run a Marathon! See ya few hours tumblr!

Let the Marathon weekend begin!

I’m off work. About to head to Omaha, (as soon as LindsayDoesLife gets done with work!) and then our flight to Chicago leaves at 6:20am tomorrow! Can’t wait to meet the internet and run a marathon!

Happy Thursday friends! See you soon!
