The Boston Marathon closed today. I am sitting on a deferred (last year) guaranteed entry and have until the December 11 deadline to get it to them. I am coming off an injury that has sidelined me for many months this year. I am finally back on the road again and so happy just to be out there. It is definitely still sore, yet seems to get incrementally better as the days go by…but Boston in 5 months? I would love to run it this year…but I have a fear of commitment. There is so much info out there on coming back after an injury it’s hard to decipher if it’s possible. What’s a girl to do? I say “Get engaged”! I found this article from Running and FitNews (from the American Running Association) that actually puts percentages (something I can understand) to mileage build up after an injury. I decided engaging myself in a plan and taking it one week/run at at time is the best therapy for my injury issues.
