Wow, it's been a long time since I posted.  At first, I was just too busy running and doing other stuff, like hosting an amazing Obedience Seminar with Hannah Branigan.  Now, I'm injured, not able to run, and accordingly, very angry, and depressed.  I have 28 days to marathon day, and I have missed my most important long runs, my 18, which should have been last weekend, now 14 this weekend, and probably my 20 next weekend.  Plus all the in-between mid-distance runs.  I am so upset, and feeling horrible because when I don't run, I get depressed, and become a sugar junkie, and just generally my life falls apart.  If I had any idea how I managed to get this injury, I would be less upset, maybe, but I have no idea at all.  I just suddenly felt a cramp about halfway into a long run, then it seemed to calm somewhat, so I finished the run, and it's been unbelievably painful ever since.  My Chiropractor got me some temporary relief last Thursday, but as soon as I tried to run on it, I got about 1/2 mile and it was terrible again.  I guess I will go see him again, and wrap it, and wear my super-cushioned shoes (that I swore I'd never go back to!) and see if I can gut out a few miles tomorrow.  This is so upsetting.  It wouldn't be half so bad if I hadn't started this scholarship thing, and taken people's money, and promised the family a trip to Chicago to see their aunt while I run.  Going to sleep now.  Hope I wake up and it's all gone.
