I'm trying to tell myself the rest might be good.. its just the timing for Chicago is a bit unfortunate. Looking forward to my first run back on Monday, Yay! --Alexrunner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-40370557604966168272010-07-30T00:41:51.152-07:002010-07-30T00:41:51.152-07:00I was stuck in a plateau recently.

As I just started running so much in 2009, I guess my body was trying to adapt to it.<br /><br />Training has resumed. Next major race for me is a 50km trail run organised by North Face.<br /><br />I am planning to go to US next March. Already signed up for 2 races over 2 consecutive weekends. Georgia Marathon and Suntrust National Marathon.~Jacky~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00049578196431598209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-85729692315886634932010-07-21T18:37:36.502-07:002010-07-21T18:37:36.502-07:00Vava, Thanks for the kind words!

I guess it's good I don't have ANOTHER weak spot somewhere else. I think we had SF's at the same time in 2008. I've enjoyed keeping up with your training and the new formats! --Alexrunner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-4102908314168953342010-07-21T05:12:16.456-07:002010-07-21T05:12:16.456-07:00Jacky, Thanks for the visit!

The obvious one has been closed, but I am going to make another one work. Nothing, of course, is guaranteed. But if it were, it wouldn't be challenging and interesting. --Alexrunner-grrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-25987504367356213902010-07-21T05:07:51.344-07:002010-07-21T05:07:51.344-07:00Lorraine, Thanks so much for the visit and the kin...Lorraine, Thanks so much for the visit and the kind words and healing thoughts!

I always heard that the point of fracture heals stronger and that your chance of re-fracturing the same location is so rare. I truly believe you can do whatever it is you want to do. You'll get there with your hat trick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-25988219170436495642010-07-20T09:37:20.683-07:002010-07-20T09:37:20.683-07:00keep going for ur dreams .. n take care too yah .....keep going for ur dreams .. n take care too yah .. :)<br /><br /><br />~jacky~Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570367028083787108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-11129862938679103292010-07-20T07:17:46.001-07:002010-07-20T07:17:46.001-07:00You absolutely can.

But with good cardio, a strong core, and mental determination, you can still do great things physically.<br /><br />I liken it to our local situation with one of our major highways being shut down. The destination does not change. You just have to find the best alternate route to get there.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16333559135685840277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576561370990105347.post-8060747690436319622010-07-20T06:45:00.726-07:002010-07-20T06:45:00.726-07:00I wish I could offer some of the great strength an...I wish I could offer some of the great strength and smarts you gave me when stress fractures had me.
