I can't wait!

I'm going to be running another half marathon on Sunday! I can't wait! It's the Nike Women's Marathon and Half-Marathon in San Francisco -- an event so popular that a lottery determines who (in addition to Team in Training members) participates. The event's proceeds benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, but because I am not participating with TNT this time around, I was lucky enough to win a place via the lottery.
I've been training and looking forward to this event for several months now, and I'm beyond frustrated that a little over a week ago, I over-trained and injured my right hip. Apparently, it's a bad idea to run 9.6 miles of hills, then to complete 200 + squats, and then to do a brisk 5 mile walk at Runyon Canyon. I ended up with an inflamed hip. So I've been forced to take it easy, and to take some anti-inflammatory. I'm feeling a little better (no excruciating pain), but I still definitely feel the soreness. Very frustrating.
But this event should be unforgettable and I'm determined to see it through. And I won't be doing it alone. Some of my friends will also be running (although perhaps a bit faster) and I'm so inspired! I've been told a little bit about what to expect...a Ghiradelli chocolate stop, beautiful views of the bay and the bridge, exciting hills, and of course, in lieu of a finisher's medal, a Tiffany & Co. necklace presented by a firefighter wearing a tuxedo. No inflamed hip is going to stand in my way!!!
I'm going to see my cousins after the race and I am so excited. Now I only need time to fast-forward through the next few days!
