I was signed up for another race today, but ended up sitting on the sidelines because of a back injury I've been dealing with. It's the same pain I had when I was pregnant - I think it's my sciatic nerve. It's a very strong pinching feeling in my right cheek and lower back that hurts like crazy. I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday to confirm.
So today I watched my friend Lindsay PR with a 27:something minute time, (Randi's out with an injury too) and while I was SO proud of her, it made me a little sad that I feel like I'm regressing instead of moving forward. I'm ready to get over this injury, get finished with this stressful school year, and have the summer to train for my 10K in September. It just seems like every aspect of my weight loss/exercise is one step forward and two steps back.
Hopefully my doctor will have a solution for me on Tuesday - I am ready to be back on the wagon!

I feel the same way Erin! I also walked the Parkinson's 5K this morning and it was super hard not to just let my legs go and run. Hopefully soon we will both be back on the wagon and better than ever! What 10K is in September? I want in!
Randi - this is the link to the 10K. I'm planning on doing all the races on this page!
