Vancouver Here We Come!

Okay, so after the whole injuring my hip incident - I got into a big car accident and broke my pelvis in three places (among other things that were broken). After five weeks in a wheelchair where I could put no weight on my legs at all, and another month of slowly walking around - I have been cleared to start running.

I have gone on maybe a total of 8 runs since then and have been doing intervals - 2 minutes of running and 2 minutes of walking. I have no endurance left and no muscle strength! But I am really glad to be back out there and running again.

Brant and I decided to sign up with Team In Training again - we're fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help find a cure for blood cancers. We're also training for the BMO Vancouver International Marathon. Brant's thinking he'll do the full, and I'm thinking I'll do the half. Afterall - I just got cleared to run! We are hoping to raise about $8000 and every little bit helps! So please - help us out! And I will do my best to keep this thing updated!
