I mentioned earlier that I put my name in the lottery to run the St George Marathon. Well you've probably already heard but my name was drawn and I am running a marathon. I've always wanted to run a marathon and unfortunately I'm not getting any younger so I figured I better do it soon or it may never happen. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad but I am really glad that a bunch of my kids are running with me. We put our names in as a group and we were selected as a group. It will be me, Justin, Ben, Alycia, Sarah and Sam. I think I'm really looking forward to it.
About the same time that I put my name in for the marathon I caught my foot in a tree root while running in the canyon and broke my toe. It was very painful and it was a month before I could walk without a limp and running was just out of the question.
Last Monday, memorial day, I had decided that I was going to try a short run but alas, I was in Provo visiting my girls and I stepped up onto a curb but without thinking I put all my weight on my toes and my poor bones or tendons or whatever were just not up to the task and I about fell on my face. While it wasn't as bad as when I first broke it, that stupid act set my poor foot back at least a couple of weeks. I'm feeling very anxious because I should be starting my training about now. The worst part is that I was already most of the way through my training because I had just run the Ragnar. I ran seventeen miles during that race. Now it has been over a month since I've run at all. I'm going to have to start from scratch. Oh well, I can do it. (I hope). I ran a mile last night and even though my foot hurt I think it is a good hurt. It feels good today. Tomorrow I'll go for two miles and see what it's like.
