Trying to move forward.

Well, if there is one thing the last month and a half has taught me, among the hundreds of things I have learned, is to slow down. Kimber, slow down? I know. But really, I heard a great quote the other day. Travel to fast and you miss all that you are traveling for.

The current status of my leg is myofascilar pain in my gluteus medius and my SI Joint is irritated because my right pelvis is set slightly forward from my left. So that is what I am working on healing right now. My physical therapist is really nice. He gave me three options to fix my pelvis. Two were kind of violent, so I am going the slow stretching route. We'll be positive that that method will be the method for me. . . :)

With that, every doctor I have seen.... too many to count, have strongly encouraged me getting active again, starting out with the bike and walking. I have also joined a yoga center. Two months ago, you would not have guessed Kimber would be at Yoga, but I am. And it is nice not only for your body, but for your mind.

My goal, carrot, and happy place at the end of the tunnel is the SoCal Ragnar in April. I have one of the easiest courses so I am being optimistic about being strong and ready for the race.

You can never say never, but I'm not sure if a marathon is in the cards for me again. I have worked my body a little too hard, and as all of you have injuries know, injuries are terrifying. Especially if running is your life blood. But this experience has taught me what really needs to be my life blood. And for that, I am grateful.

Thank you all for continuing to be tolerant of me, and most of all, praying for me. It hasn't been easy, but I am grateful for the trial. Without any storms, the grass would never grow.
