As you can see by my Dailymile updates, I am still here and running. I have been keeping track of my miles, but not writing much these days. In short...
*I'm training for the Grand Rapids Marathon on October 21st.
*I'm cautiously increasing my mileage due to my annoying ITband/hip/leg.
*I have gotten a few massages to help the ITband and discovered it was more of a hip issue.
*I'm still slow---I'm more concerned about staying injury-free because it was not fun to sit out for a few months.
*I have no time goals for the race, just want to finish and stay injury-free.
*My middle toenails are once again on the outs and are quite painful.
*I'm ****GASP**** not really following a training plan. This is a huge shock since I have Type A tendencies when it comes to things like this and also because I'm not that skilled at running to really just go with it. The injury has kept me honest, so I'm just trying to do what I can and hopefully finish the race uninjured.
