Summary
I've been keeping this from the community for a minute, because I needed some time to process. To answer your top question: I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen with my marathon plans. But, I've always been pretty open and honest with the Hurdlers, and I thought it was important to bring a dose of perspective (and some honesty) to the feed. It could be a muscle strain. It could be a hernia (that word frightens me, TBH). But, I'm keeping perspective, taking this one day at a time, seeing all of the experts, and doing my PT exercises. You want vulnerability? Well, here it is. Tears, optimism, and a promise to do what's best for my body in the longterm — included. One thing I know: This is just another hurdle for me to conquer. We can do it together.
