Anne-How was your marathon?

Charlene, it was a half marathon, 13.1 miles, and I had a really bad ankle strain at 8.5 miles. I was able to get it taped up and walk it in, so I did in fact cross the finish line, but the race was really over for me at that point. Pretty disappointing for me, because I was feeling strong from my training, and the injury kept me from putting in my best performance. The ankle is healing up now, still swollen, but not terrible. Thanks for asking--it is nice to have friendly people about.

Anne

Anne-What a bummer for you. I bet it was disappointing At least you got to walk across the finish line and got in good shape with all the training. Is there another one in your future?
I'd like to do a half marathon someday. I just signed up for two woman's snow shoe trips in February that I just started training for.
