Golden Ticket

I did it. I got my Golden Ticket.

It was touch and go¹ for a while as to whether or not I'd be able to hobble through the 6.2 trail miles of the Irish Sprint 10K in order to gain entry into the Marine Corps Marathon. But, resting my pulled back for the 2 weeks beforehand--plus going to physcial therapy and getting some good stretching and pulling and electrical stimulation--was enough to make it doable. Slow, . . . . but doable.

I've had two weeks of physical therapy, and at this point, my PT is not really sure what's causing me to repeatedly strain my lower back. Initially, it seemed my left illium was sitting a bit higher than my right. 

Now, however, it seems that the muscles around my pelvic bone have loosened up a bit and realignd. (Please note that I really don't understand the magic of physical therapy yet, but I do trust my PT.)

I ran 5 miles on Sunday at a slow pace and my back handled it fairly well. This morning I had another round of PT, and this afternoon I 'm going to run a few miles and then stretch, . . . and stretch, . . . . and stretch. 

¹Using phrases like this surely means I'm slowly turning into my Mum.

Is touch and go British or just old? I'm going for British as I use it! Hope all is well. I'm busy applying for teaching jobs around the world. Hoping Allen gets out this summer or he may be off somewhere I really don't want him to go. Still aiming for the States late August. Mum and Dad are here for a bit next week and then we're off to Naples and Rome for Easter. Taking the sleeper train to Rome but we have to fly back as it was too expensive to train it both ways. Only 2 hours flying so I should cope. Jacob is very excited about seeing all the things he's been learning about at school. Abi's just excited for her birthday. She wants make up, hair dye - purple and tank tops - would you guess she's about to turn 8 - 16 more like. Both are in the swim team here. They are swimming 4 times a week and loving it, definitely get that from Allen. When will you be visiting Denver? Enjoy Easter even though you have crap chocolate! Jacob and Abi have been 'practising' egg hunts in the garden. Going to an American one on Saturday, also joined the ski club and have our first indoor ski session on Sunday.
