I am signed up for the 1/2 in K'zoo, but am thinking of skipping out as well...wondering if I can run the 5K. My husband says I should walk/run the 1/2. I'm in the same dilemma as you.MJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975649342873974210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927108961886470634.post-31447945008675781372011-04-08T22:45:08.756-04:002011-04-08T22:45:08.756-04:00I am so sorry you have to deal with this injury.

Even if you don't make it to the start (or finish line) you tried. THAT is what inspires the rest of us! Hoping this is not a major setback and you are out pounding the pavement again soon!

You KNOW you need to listen to your body. Have you had it looked at? Maybe PT can help you...<br /><br />Whatever you decide to do, we are all supporting you. That said, I hope the new shoes help tons and your hip just needs to get on the bandwagon...bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527731795745786604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927108961886470634.post-54112498233053628622011-04-07T12:38:14.934-04:002011-04-07T12:38:14.934-04:00Oh, that is hard!

Just training is the hardest part! <br />Like you said, you can do it with less training, and forgo the PB this time around, or rest if you have too. <br />I am running a marathon in June, with the only expectation/hope is that I don't die at the end!!Sara @ Domestically Challengedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245599062507705190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927108961886470634.post-66130657110140493342011-04-07T11:40:46.101-04:002011-04-07T11:40:46.101-04:00Christa: I hope you don't ever feel pressure b...Christa: I hope you don't ever feel pressure because of this challenge. You need to listen to your body and do what is best for you first. Personally, I will still feel honored to wear a shirt with your name on it regardless of if you can run this race or not. :) If you hadn't started this challenge- I wouldn't be running this race. Rest, take it easy and see if it will help that hip. I hope it does. We are behind you no matter what happens!<br /><br />-Carriebenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361967017760915823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927108961886470634.post-34006029428784909532011-04-07T11:05:18.143-04:002011-04-07T11:05:18.143-04:00Have you tried going to a sports therapist or even...Have you tried going to a sports therapist or even the podiatrist?

Rest your hip, keep training as best you can and make your decision the week of the race. Even if you have to walk/run for parts you'll be out there with them! I'll keep a look out for your shirts along the route and cheer you on for sure!
