Today marks my first race missed. I would have completed the
Enchanted 10k this morning and started preparing for the Disney Princess Half
Marathon. The Glass Slipper Challenge would have been a really good test for me
and a first step towards mentally preparing for a marathon. I have been really
positive throughout this experience, but missed race days might be my weakness. I will be avoiding Instagram (@ladylionrunner) for sure this weekend.

On a more positive note, tomorrow registration opens for the Marine Corps Marathon lottery. My goal for 2014 is to be able to complete this race. It might be a bit ambitious considering I'm sitting in a wheelchair right now, but I have more determination than ever!
Today also marks the end of three weeks. The doctor said 6
to 8 weeks so it potentially means I’m halfway to healing the bone! I started
PT this week to help keep as much muscle as possible. I worked on range of
motion exercises and stretching out the hip. I already feel a difference and it
feels amazing. When laying down, I can slowly bring my leg up and bend my knee.
I feel incredibly tight so any stretching or movement is really needed. The PT
also said once the doctor gives the ok I can work on running in the pool. Looks
like I’ll be in the market for an exercise bathing suit. I considered training
for triathlons after all my races for 2014 so I will still be able to use the
bathing suit after PT is over. Any recommendations on what type?
