That was a disappointment. However, I did raise close to $2,000 dollars and that contributed to the greater Team in Training total of $370,000 raised for this year's Bayshore Marathon. I was able to see a great friend of mine participate. I enjoyed cheering her on and seeing her complete her first marathon. Go Jenny!!!
The diagnosis on my hip is tendinitis. It's basically a repetitive use injury from over training. Now, I am attending physical therapy (PT). Two days a week I go through an aggressive weights program with an instructor. The other days I am expected to keep up with a stretching and strengthening regimen they have laid out for me. The man who gave me the evaluation believes part of my problem was due to not having strong enough hips to buffer me against the weight-bearing forces of running.
I am hopeful though. After all the waiting and wondering, I now have a diagnosis. I have a plan to get back to being strong. Best of all, the evaluator believes it's completely realistic for me to run the half marathon at this year's Detroit Free Press marathon.
Watch out world!
