well I just signed up for the marathon on Nov. 8th...
haven't been doing any long runs lately--so it won't surprise me if I end up switching to the half.
Anybody else interested?
My wife wants to visit her grandparents and I have a college buddy doing the race, so i just figured, what the heck...

Here are all of my reactions:
1) You're insane.
2) That really ticks me off cause I signed up for a marathon and am not getting to do it.
3) She says sniffling, "I just want to run something."
4) Congratulations. That's great. Sounds like fun. I hope it goes great for ya.
5) I'm going back to "You're insane . You don't train for a marathon in 10 weeks!!"

Lawson Clary and, I think, Patrick Rivers are doing Savannah marathon.
I am thinking of doing the 5K at Spinx. The Big Punkin 5K. I need to do something to feel like a running person again.

I have just been walking two miles everyday. Running wasn't working and I wasn't getting better. So I am not running until my pain is gone. Swimming and walking and some strength work.
I did sign up for the Spinx 5K. Maybe I will be able to do that. If I can't run it I will walk it.
Well hopefully it will get better with walking- if u haven't already, you may consider an MRI / scans since it's taking so long to get well.
Its really a host of problems. And they just complicate one another.
Its not just one thing.
I've been told lots of stuff. Here's the list:
I have a leg length discrepancy
I have a tilted pelvis. Tilts forward on the right side and/or Anterior pelvic tilt.
I have seen an x-ray that shows the pelvis slightly off center.
I have congenital spinal stenosis.
I have degenerative disk.
I have a slight curve in my spine so if I tried to correct the leg length it would make the curve worse.
I have weak hips, tight hip flexors, glutes that don't fire, tight hamstrings.
Poor movement patterns.
Pelvic instability, more so on the right side.
And there is more from the x-ray - I just cant remember it all. Stuff about the way my spine developed when I was growing.
Pretty much anything that can be wrong with your pelvis/low back area is wrong with mine. And it all makes running difficult. I can do it for a while. Then it just breaks down.
So I thought about an MRI but it would probably tell me I have Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction along with everything else.
There's more than you ever wanted to know about that.
I may eventually get an MRI. But right now I'm just tired. I don't really want to hear anything else wrong with me.
Traci, at least you have a good personality and a heart of gold!
p.s. I think i have most of the same probs with my lower back.

You're the best!!! I hope you don't have the same probs.
Hey, how is your marathon training going?
It's going ok...
Haven't had a lot of time, but i'm squeezing in a long run every now and then. 10 mi is my longest and it was tough. 26.2 will be nearly impossible for me. but it will be fun trying!
