Coming Back Stronger

2011 Goal - Run a Half Marathon.  Done.

One thing I didn't expect leading up to the race and during the race was the extreme knee pain I would experience.  I'm a busy person.  I over commit.  I don't like to say no.  These three statements lead to a disaster when attempting to train for a half marathon alone.  I was convinced that I didn't need a proper training program to learn to run.  Wrong.  Before 2011 I had never run more than 10 minutes consecutively.  I am the person they develop training programs for.  I've always wanted to be a runner so I put my mind to it and made it happen.  I also got a side of 4 months of Physical Therapy to go with it.  Lesson Learned.  Training Program Booked.  My target return to racing is the SF First Half Marathon at the end of July.  I am proud to say I will be training with Marathon Matt!
