Finished the Detroit free press marathon in 4:02-my achilles tendonitis flared up two miles in and I thought I wouldn't finish! Now I cannot run 1 mile!!! its been two weeks, hope it heals soon! Can't wait to start running again!
Great job! you pushed through and finished. hopefully you will be back out running soon. the injury might take a month or more to heal but the memory of finishing a marathon will last forever.
is it the right to keep running when you feel an injury like that.. probably not... but under the circumstances you probably felt stopping was not an option.
Cant blame you for finishing even though you were hurt. Only a runner would understand that "need" to finish.. its hard to explain or pin point why we keep running when we are injured but i think its safe to say we have all done it.
now its time to take it easy and get all healed up
First full marathon
