Marathon on hold

I visited the doctor the other day and turns out the nagging hip pain I’ve been dealing with is a hairline fracture in the “neck” of my femur. MAJOR bummer. I’m off running for at least 4 weeks to rest and re-evaluate.

With a little over two months to go until my marathon on 4/15, I’ll be switching to a half (and hoping to even pull that off) and hopefully running a full in the Fall. I’ve also got a triathlon and a Ragnar Relay on the books for the summer so I don’t have time to not let this bad boy fully heal.

In the meantime, I can swim, spin, Barre (carefully) and do a slew of other non-impact activities to keep me in shape. Fingers crossed, it’s a quick heal!
