Hi, my name is Kristin. I'm a full time emergency veterinarian, wife, and mother of one. I am training to run my first marathon in January 2013. Join me as I try to juggle it all and train for 26.2!

Today's Run:
6.31 miles, 1:07:31
Gorgeous weather - 65 degrees, sunny.
This was my first run after a full week off. I wore calf sleeves and ran the 10k loop in PTC. I was aware of a slight twinge in my calf for the first 15 min or so, and it was barely noticeable after that. I stopped a few times and it would ache for the first few steps after I started again. It hasn't bothered me when walking around this afternoon - so I'm happy about that! Maybe it's getting better? ::crossing my fingers::
Regardless, it felt great to be outside and moving again!
I'm currently icing my leg with my miracle ice pack. I got this amazing ice pack when I had my stress fracture. I bought it from my physical therapist and it has a special place in my freezer/heart. It's huge - maybe like 18"x12" and pliable - so it can be wrapped around the affected area better. I lurrrrve it. You must get one if you are ever injured!
Sunday is race day! I hope to rock out with my new pink ProCompression socks and am shooting for a new PR!
My socks and a new edition of Runner's World both arrived yesterday. Thank you, USPS.
