Marathon...coming soon!

So...I have been training for a marathon for about 5 months now. A week ago, I thought I might not be running due to some severe pain in my left leg. After a few tests, it was determined that I have a really really bad shin splint (they thought maybe I had a stress fracture, but the tests were inconclusive). So the good doc cleared me to run, but told me I should try not to do much running until the race. He recommended riding bike or an elliptical machine. I have opted for the exercise bike route because I don't have to pay for a gym membership to use one of those. I am very thankful that I will be able to run the race and that there is only one more week of riding the bike before the race.
If you need something to do next Saturday morning (April 4th) you can come cheer Monica and I on. The race starts at 8am and we will finish sometime between 12 and 1. We really aren't doing it for time...we just want to finish. And I will be sure to let you know how it goes...after I recover.
