That got a lot easier for me once I started really upping my distance, so doing that while coming off of 2 half-marathons should help you with that goal a lot!<br /><br />I'm glad this year was a good one for running, and I hope 2014 is even better! :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-40287344125479853282013-12-16T11:36:54.734-06:002013-12-16T11:36:54.734-06:00I have the same goal, run a 5k without walking!

I suppose it might be worth it for you to go to a real doctor (instead of Dr. Google) to get the fear of god put into you about making it so much worse that you won't be able to do anything for eons, but honestly, you really need to rest it. PT is nice and made me feel better...another option for you?

The past few years I had only run the 5K's cause that's all I had the confidence to do. This year I have stepped out of my comfort zone and ran distance up to 13.1!

It's so cool that you keep going whenever you can, but are not stupid about making injuries worse--something I"m really prone to doing.<br /><br />In fact, I seem to have some sort of glute/hamstring thing going on now that isn't healing on its own, and probably need to see some sort of medical professional, if only so that someone with the proper letters after their name will tell me to stop being a fool and running anyway and making it worse!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-39773483286859186742013-12-16T07:50:30.210-06:002013-12-16T07:50:30.210-06:00I like your goals.
