The Waiting Game....
As I sit here and wait for my MRI results to tell me the diagnosis of my knee injury, I can not help but focus on the many countless thoughts that are running through my head. I ask myself everyday what it is that I want to accomplish in these next months. It is easy; I want to pass my nursing boards and I want to run the marathon. I am not giving myself a choice on either of these, since I WILL accomplish both. It is hard for me to explain how difficult this setback has been. I have dedicated myself to an incredible training schedule, and it is now the daily, constant focus of my life and I would not want it any other way. As I sit here and wait, with these endless thoughts running through my head, one thought stands out above the rest. I am running the Boston Marathon in 37 days, 21 hours, 7 minutes and 17 seconds. But hey, who is really counting?

Ashley - fingers crossed on the MRI!!! What did you do?
ReplyDeleteI empathize; just coming off of 2 weeks with almost no running b/c of bad illness, and as a 1st time marathoner I'm terrified I've fallen way behind on my training.
I hope you get good results and back on your feet soon!
