Like Dale and Derek suggested, I’ve taken a little more time off. I’m excited to try to run again, to see if there’s any improvements. This last week I think I’ve made huge improvements with the chiropractor. I honestly feel like my hips are “different”, and the left one (normally the healthy one) feels lower…
As part of the 3 months that I had to reflect on my injury, my training, and what I needed to change for the next time around. There’s a great guy at work that keeps up on my running that I’d talk to periodically throughout the injury. He had asked me before, but began to…
2nd appointment this week. Thank goodness I have access to one for free at my work!!! I moved a lot this time. Earlier this week I hardly moved at all — a sign that I was pretty stuck. I feel a little bit better today than yesterday (and yesterday was a definite improvement over Tuesday),…

Hey Nichole! How's it going? I just came across your blog. Well done on your 11th place. I look forward to reading more about your training and successes 🙂
I, too, just discovered your blog and look forward to reading more. I ran the marathon at Grandma's as well but was no where close to your time! I did, however, cut 15 minutes off my PR, so I was happy about that!
