So my Orthopaedic confirmed today that I DO NOT need surgery.  I have birsitis, but I am OK to run my marathon as scheduled on January 10.

Oh ya, thanks to the hot guy we chased from miles  4-9 also :)

Preparing for the Space Coast Half Marathon

So far, I’ve chosen my running clothes.  And, changed my mind on the shirt already.  I’ve also rounded up my gel packs, a powerbar, and a bottle of water for the morning.

Next on the list is clipping my toe nails, and packing my suitcase.

Wish me luck!

SALT Spray 5k

This morning I ran a 5k on the beach in New Smyrna.  There were 400 entrants.  My time was 26:07… 4th in my age group.  Not to shabby :)

If I had been just 1 minute faster I would have taken 3rd and gotten a really cool “trophy”.  The local high school made unique clay trays, each one was a hand-painted beach scene.  Oh well.  Them’s the breaks!

At least my knee held up.  This is the first time I’ve run since last week’s 15k race.  Next weekend I’m scheduled for the Space Coast Half Marathon.

Of course, all of this in preparation for the Disney World Marathon on January of 2010.  I am running with Team In Training to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  You can make a donation to my efforts here - http://pages.teamintraining.org/cfl/wdw10/bsummers.
