Yesterday I ran 4 miles. Now ordinarily that wouldn't be much of an accomplishment, since I had been routinely doing closer to 8 on most of my weekday runs. But after my week off, I was happy to get through 4. The good news is that my leg seems to be doing much better. It hurt a bit towards the end, but nowhere near the "you must stop running right this instant" pain that I felt last week. So that is a very good sign. I will keep up with the icing and the Advil taking and with luck I'll be back to my regular running schedule soon.
In other news, today I received my official registration card from the Boston Marathon! That's right, there's no going back now, I am an official entrant--in 67 days I will be at the start line in Hopkinton headed to Boston. Yes, I know I could just drive, but doesn't running 26.2 miles seem like more fun? What that means for you, my dear readers, is that you have 67 days to motivate me and help me make every mile count--go to http://www.tuftsmarathonchallenge.com/runners/miriamst to support me--anything you can give will be very much appreciated.
To all my DC friends, I hope you are digging out after the "snowpocolypse" (that's what you all are calling it, right?). And hey, if you want less snow, just move to Boston :)

Hello,
I finally found your blog and figure out how to read and comment (2nd attempt because I needed to sign in....)
Very well written.
I hope that your leg continues to improve. Slightly warmer running weather will help.
Love,
mom:)
