Injury Dilemma - Update

Well, I wish this post had better news, but alas it does not. Falling down the stairs during marathon training = dropping out of the marathon at the eleventh hour. The last day to withdraw from the marathon without having to fulfill my full fundraising requirement was September 1st. I made the final decision to withdraw on August 31st. And while I know it was the right decision, I still feel pretty bad about it.

Sure, there's the personal disappointment of training for something for months and having to drop out over such a silly injury. But it's more about letting my donors down. Granted, the money still goes to the fantastic cause all the same, but it feels like I'm letting down more than just myself. Not exactly the way I pictured this going!

But I've spent enough time dwelling on this for one lifetime, so I'm going to leave it at that and start looking for a physical therapist to help me get back on track since I'll have health insurance as of tomorrow. And then I'll be on the hunt for a new marathon to train for (hopefully!)
