I have two dogs, a cat , a fish and a gorgeous supportive wife who will someday be a runner if she can get her foot problems sorted out.

Knew I would have some difficulty since my training was minimal .

Hip was sore throughout race but was able to run the distance. ( 10 and 1)

Would now like to try and qualify for Boston in the spring . (3:45)

Am I reasonable to aim for this? I am committed to train for this and attempt another Marathon in May of next year.

Dropped the kids off at school dressed and looking like incredible zombies for their Halloween party at school. Decided to run in the light rain . Had massage therapy yesterday to the i.t. band which she said was causing the hip discomfort.

Had a playful easy run with some one minute threshold sprints thrown in. Hip pain is almost gone.
