    Reality is that great writers do not necessarily write every day and, Lauren, you are as great a writer as you are a runner. Keep up the wonderful work.

    Hi Lauren, I know how you feel. I just got the results of an MRI back-torn meniscus. Sigh. Another marathon cycle down the tubes. The worst part is I still have to go and watch everyone else run. Keep your head up.

    • First of all, your automated monster is the coolest one I’ve ever seen. That should cheer you up.
      But dude, I know what you mean. In 2004, I broke my second metatarsal six weeks before the Olympic Trials and had to watch everyone race from the stands with crutches. I guess I didn’t have to watch. I had free will. I’ll tell you what, though…I wouldn’t do it again. There was absolutely nothing of value learned from it. If I were you, I’d only go if I had to help a loved one prepare, and then once he/she was ready to go, I’d duck into a coffee shop and read a trashy novel over a giant, steaming, whipped cream covered hot chocolate for 4 hours.

  • I found out about your blog from Dr. Ball’s site, I have been working with him for 3 1/2 yrs. I love how he just solves the problems! Read some of your blog looks like you are headed for greatness. I have 1 more marathon this year to get my Olympic Trials Qualifying time (just going for the B standard, fast enough for this 41yr old mother of 2). Anyway great to read about you and I wish you the best of luck!! I read about your visit to Phx area and if you are ever here again and need a place to stay please contact me we would be happy to host you (seriously). I live a few miles from Dr Ball’s office with my husband and 2 kids and 2 cats.
    Thanks,
    Kerry Camberg
