I can’t lie my friends…I’ve been slacking on this training blog. One reason is I haven’t been able to really get my runs in since around Christmas! Laaaaame! The good thing is I have been hitting the Trenton Athletic Club, 90 minutes a day, 6 days a week. So my cardio is stellar. Also, I saw a specialist on Tuesday and we discovered the route of my sciatica, back pain, knee pain and inability to physically run….HAMSTRINGS!

I left there with a piece of paper that had a stretch on it but I’ve never felt so encouraged by one piece of paper! This stretch instantly restored my muscle weakness in less than 1 minute…you may!!

Feeling strong enough that I am going to run the Miami 1/2 Marathon for sure this Sunday. The past week or two I was able to get a few runs in despite some pain; but the past few days I’ve been on the mend. This is thanks to Dr. Shapiro and my incredible PT Greg who is making sure I get the most of every session and he only wants to see me get back to my training.

So, I leave Detroit at 7am tomorrow and head down to the sunshine state. There is a team 65Roses dinner tomorrow night that I’m speaking at. It should be an amazing time to catch up with Rosie-my dear CF mermaid friend, Joy- my energizer bunny running CF friend and finally meet Mike-the gangsta w/CF who is also hitting the streets with us Sunday. I think Miami may explode when we all meet!! Watch the news…

I’ll give a full race day recap for sure. Also look for videos of us bringing down the karaoke house tomorrow night!!!

Rock CF..lets outrun cystic fibrosis,
