docsquid Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I do hope your knee settles down soon, but please don't risk long-term damage. If it isn't right, don't run, or just walk the marathon instead of running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thank you so much everyone for your encouragement I am feeling more positive now as the muscle in my leg that was causing the pain in my knee has improved and I have run 4 miles without any pain. Sunday is just around the corner and I get butterflies just thinking about it The weather looks like it is going to be warm and clear so fingers crossed for a good day.

Space Chick Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I thought about Rach this morning, and thought I'd see if she'd posted before she left. I hope she does OK, and look forward to hearing about it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hey guys, I am back! The most difficult thing I have ever done I managed it in just under 5 hours I have lost 4 toenails and ache like you wouldn't believe. My knee was very sore at 17 miles but I told myself that if people can walk for miles when they are ill in Africa etc for medical treatment I could get around the course. It was so hot, I did lots of drinking and throwing bottles of water on the ground like proper runners - always wanted to do that.I picked myself up and continued and the pain pretty much disappeared Bloomin' sore now though but I can now rest - for the rest of my life I WILL NOT BE DOING ANOTHER ONE Thank you so much for all of your good wishes and positive vibes I am really touched.

Space Chick Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Wow Rach, thats a fantastic time I know several Marathon runners that have been unable to get below the 5 hour mark Have a nice soak in a bath, and have a restful day tomorrow (try and go for a small walk though to help your muscles as you will probably be in agony ) Congratulations, you should feel very proud of yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Huge congratulations to you . Your poor feet, though . You'll be hobbling for a few days . Hope the muscles aren't too bad - keep moving (if you can!) and you may not seize up so badly (hopefully!) Very proud of you - that is such an achievement .
