Here is the Boston forcast for Monday's marathon:

Monday...Rain. Rain May be heavy at Times in the morning. Brisk and cold with highs around 40. Chance of rain 80 percent. Windy. With gusts up to 50 MPH

I am currently home in Newton. Sitting on the new green couch mom and dad got. It is good to be home and reacharge my batteries after a stressfuls couple months at school. I haven't written much on my blog but I hope to go back and fill in some spots. This is what I've been up to this semester:

-GMATs
-Applying to 3 business Schools- Cornell, NYU, Columbia
-5 classes
-Work 3 days a week [first at Sesame St., Now at Y&R]
-Training for Monday's marathon
-3 weeks in Thailand
-applications/ interviews for summer internship (I will stay at Y&R and also work at clarity consulting doing executive coaching0)

Whew. I'm exhausted.

In addition to all that I've been doctor hopping the last couple weeks getting second opinions and MRIs on my groin which hurts when I run.

The diagnosis: a stress fracture in my pelvis.
The Rx: don't run for a couple months.*
The response: NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to the stress fracture and the impending Nor'Easter I have made a final decision today not to run the boston marathon. This year. Next year not even Thai dogs will stop me from running it.
