Pushing the Reset Button

These have been some really trying times... Chicago didn't end the way I wanted it to at all, although I should've seen it coming. I was a little more sick the week before than I was willing to admit, and it showed when I broke out in cold sweats between a quarter and a half mile into the race. While the result was disappointing, the lessons and experience more than made up for the disappointment. 

After Chicago, I maintained a certain level of fitness to be able to run the Dallas White Rock 1/2 Marathon with my girlfriend, Stephanie - being her first 1/2, I wasn't going to miss it for the world; I was willing to risk injury and anything else I had to in order to cross the finish line with her. Not to foreshadow too much, but that was in fact the end result, for both of us unfortunately. She has since recovered from a stress fracture in her foot, I am still awaiting answers on my hip. I had an MRI yesterday, I have my follow-up appointment Monday morning, my fingers are crossed, I'm praying for the best, because I would really appreciate being able to get back out there sooner than later!

In my down time, I have watched "Unbreakable" the documentary on the Western States Endurance Run, I have had discussions with David at PlayTri, and have come up with some pretty big future plans that I'm more than ready to get to work on!
