The Beautiful? Struggle: Injury Update
http://humble-perseverance.blogspot.com/2008/10/injury-update.html
My journey to my first marathon on Sunday October 12, 2008. Thursday, October 23, 2008. So it turns out that all of my pain is related to increased thinning of the cartilage around my knee due to the marathon. So 6 weeks of no impact sports (running, etc) and physical therapy. Its not looking like I'm going to be able to do any intense running again. but only time will tell. The important thing is that I'm careful because I don't want to mess around and cause early onset arthritis in my knee.

I started feeling paranoid about my hamstrings, knees and ankles hurting. The wo...

My journey to my first marathon on Sunday October 12, 2008. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Finishing the Chicago Marathon Pt. 2.

Anyway, onto the second half of lessons learned from the Chicago Marathon. Over the course of the training season you'll experimen...

http://humble-perseverance.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
My journey to my first marathon on Sunday October 12, 2008. Sunday, July 27, 2008. So after three months of procrastinating. i finally got up this morning and went to my gym's hatha yoga. A lot of folks have been recommending it to me pretty enthusiastically. they said that it would help a lot with my stress and that its great for strength and flexibility. But i had a lot of doubts. Nevertheless. this morning i finally got myself out of bed and went to the class. Saturday, July 26, 2008. I thought i coul...
