Turns out Josh's leg has something in between a shin splint and a stress fracture ... a gray area they call severe stress reaction. This doesn't mean he will be able to run the marathon, but it does mean a faster recovery and increase chance of him being able to run the last few miles with me!
I saw my physical therapist and instead of focusing on my back we addressed my knee. No running for another week but ok to cross train. I went to the gym tonight and managed 3 miles on the elliptical at a decent intensity aerobically before feeling the slightest ache in my knee. I just quit right then while I was ahead before causing a flare up. But I was happy to make it to 3 since I was only a mile and a half into my run Sunday when disaster struck. So I am feeling a bit more positive! Off to hockey tomorrow and hopefully 5 miles on the elliptical Friday.
I also wanted to thank everyone who has purchased keychains or donated money to Team AllEars and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. THANK YOU!

We'll all be rooting for you, C, and waiting for updates!! Oh, and tell Josh we want Twitter pics, too! :-)
