Yes, it was bound to happen...my darn back finally gave out. I am definitely bummed, but determined to rehab it so that I can complete this 1/2 marathon. I am completely fine with walking the entire thing if I need to...it is not about the time for me...it is the goal and the cause.
My body continually reminds me that I am no longer the athlete that I once was...but, that is OK. I know that I can do this if I put my mind to it.
On another note, I am having fun buying all of the "running paraphernalia" such as a pink Timex watch to monitor my run/walk ratio, new shoes to ensure that my over pronating/flat arches don't kill me, and a "hydration system" aka belt with water bottles attached to it. I have the gear, I just need to get my body to work :)
