I was supposed to have run the Philadelphia Marathon yesterday. However an ankle tendinitis put a halt to my attempt to run a sub-3 hour marathon just 3 weeks ago. I knew I was not going to run this race back them, but it took me awhile to accept that fact and up to 5 days ago I was still hopeful I could be at the start line yesterday morning. But a foiled attempt to run a simple 4 miler put an end to my hopes. It also did not help that my left knee started acting up and have been sore since then.
I did go to Philadelphia yesterday, mostly to cheer for a friend who was training with me for the same race. While waiting for him to finish the race, I could not help but feel jealous at each runner as they reached the finish line elated, accomplished.

Welcome to the blogosphere! I think you'll enjoy writing about your running -- the two activities seem to compliment each other very nicely.
