Personal:

I got back into running in January 2007. Lost 35 pounds and keep trying to follow my high school track/cc son around. Soon found out that coaching was a better choice. Ran semi seriously in high school ( 4:30 ish mile), but had done no running in 29 years. I think I'm back and complain heavily when not allowed to run.

Take Shape for Life helped me lose 25 pounds after I had been a runner for a number of years and my half marathon time clearly reflected that.....I must add that I feel and look way more like a runner.

Well my back and S.I. joint are better after a few days off but not healed. I am going to pass on this weekends 1/2 having decided it is worth waiting the 2-3 weeks I need for recovery, rather than damage the ligaments further by trying to race injured. We have a local half in 4 weeks that I should be able to at least run in if not actually race. Healing seems to be a better way to go. Rode my bike for 15 miles at lunch today wearing my back grace thing and had no pain whatsoever. Yet it still twinges a bit when I walk downhill and land funny. Time and patience is in order. I,ll call the effort the equal of a 4 mile run.

P.T. guru says I could probably slow run the 1/2 marathon with out re-injury as long as I stopped if any unusual or sharp pain is felt. Said I might add a number of days to the recovery but should not, if careful, do any more damage. Suggested I do an easy 5K tomorrow, and again on Fri. or Sat. and if no pain should be OK to run(jog) through the half. I am OK with that since 2 1/2 weeks without training leaves me feeling unprepared anyway.

Tried a slow easy run. Some pain after three miles but not real bad. I have decided to run in the 1/2 marathon but not race.
