On a side note, anyone have any tips for how not to injure your pivot leg when running in circles on a track? My IT band has felt it. I'm thinking I'll maybe slow down and walk on each of the turns?

Ugggghh, this is so me, too! I started training November 28th, but with Christmas followed by two major storm systems, and then I pulled my back last week, I am seriously slacking. My longest run thus far has been 7 miles. While I'm confident in being able to do the 5K/10K/Half, I don't want to be this undertrained going in to race day. Here's hoping that I'm able to get back on track by this coming weekend, otherwise I'm going to really start feeling behind.
The speed is just not going to get any better, it seems. I wish the dang corral assignments would come out already, so I can know how much of a cushion I have.
Going for 7... my longest training run yet! Well wishes appreciated
Hoping its the lesser of the two evils and I’ll still be able to complete the GSC.
Sending good thoughts your way!Training runs are on hold...after 10 years of running, I am experiencing my first injury.
Went for injury eval at the local running store today. The PT suspects stress fracture or ITB issue. He made a referral and I have an appointment with the area’s most respected sports med doctor on Monday.

Speaking as someone who's had bronchitis multiple times, twice resulting in pneumonia, I strongly advise against pushing through! I also strongly advise getting it checked by a doctor, as bronchitis can be either viral or bacterial, and it could also be something else entirely. If you're not running a fever, and you feel energetic, try activities that don't tax your breathing: walking, yoga, strength training - anything that doesn't make you cough. But if you're running a fever, and/or feeling exhausted and run-down, your body needs REST. Hope you feel better soon!Ugh, I think I have bronchitis (self-diagnosed on the internet, lol). Whatever it is, it's definitely slowing me down. Not sure what to do at this point. Stop running and rest, push through...
