Awesome work! I agree with joan4mickey - maybe try throwing in a minute or so of a jog every 5 minutes for a bit and see how that feels.

Finished my longest walk yet yesterday, almost twelve miles! I came in under time but unless I can do an eight minute mile to finish off I might be over. Should I increse my walking speed or throw in a few runs to my walk? I'm feeling fine today so both options are under consideration.

I'm convinced that ALL chiros start off with that and go from there!...But now that someone's actually recommended stopping, I'm kinda pissed
There was alot of info covered in my initial appointment last night and it was alot to take in at once and I've since come up with some questions and other things I'd like to ask her about and get clarification on, so my future in running will be one of them. But I may be in for a hiatus after PHM now. More reason to squeeze every ounce of fun out of it this time I guess.
I totally understand, really. I know that what I'm doing now with working out run/walk intervals, seeing my chiro weekly and PT exercises is really just a means of finishing this race. After it, I fully expect to need time off for the inflammation in my knee (because I think we all know I'll push as hard as I can in the race) to go down and then it'll be like starting from scratch; low mileage, learning anew how to do this sport without creating injuries. Or at least one particularly annoying injury. 
Maybe think of it that way - you may need some time off to fix what's not working right, but then you can restart in a way that feels better than ever. It sounds like you've got a good ally in your chiro to make that happen!Went to my first chiropractor appointment last night...really liked her and feeling good about treatment that she can provide. PrincessV...she did the same move on me that you sent the link to the video for, lol! Did a little heat/electrode therapy too that really felt nice. As far as the evaluation though, I can't decide what I'm feeling about it. Her words were "I will always tell you what I think is best for you and your body and you can then decide if you want to do what I suggest or if you want to do something else. I will always treat you regardless of what you choose. That being said, I don't think running is the best thing for you right now." I made it clear that I still had a race planned at the end of Feb and that I would continue with my running schedule 100% for that, non-negotiable, which she was fine with. But I know I probably need to stop for a good while after that...and that's where it's weird for me. I thought if someone told me that I'd be kinda happy about it...I kinda hate training, at least I thought I did. But now that someone's actually recommended stopping, I'm kinda pissed

I'm a late comer but is there any way to meet someone in the same time category to run with? I know there are different corrals, but if we find several folks, odds are at least one will be in my corral? I really don't want to do this alone and my hubby will be at the finish. I tried to search this blog but nothing came up. Any ideas?
have you checked out the Solo Princess thread? Corrals haven't been listed yet and we are all waiting patiently.
