When my taper began I thought I had made it through my entire training with no injuries. I was excited to slow down and then run the race. By the end of the second taper run (out of a scheduled 12) I felt a pinch in my hip. I took it easy for a few days and ran a short easy run to see how the hip was doing. By the end of the run my "pinch" had grown to making me limp! This was not good with two and a half weeks to the race! So I quickly signed up for physical therapy, my taper just drop off to nothing.
After 3 PT appointments over two weeks my hip is doing much better, but now I'm looking at the marathon in 4 days, without running for over two weeks before. I hope this doesn't hurt my run. First goal is to finish, second goal, a time of 3:15:00. Let's see how this goes!
