After getting out of the cast I really had hoped to jump right back in to running and still make Toronto. Knowing in the back of my mind how long it took me to feel normal after my last stress fracture, I knew that wasn't going to be a reality. But I tried any how. And it just hurt too bad. I'm getting to the point in my life where I am letting my long term health drive my decisions as opposed to my stubbornness in wanting to accomplish my goals. I backed off from running for a bit and took as many Krav Maga classes as I could and focused on my rehab. I'm still not sure why I finally decided to act on something I had been thinking about for many months but I spoke to our chief instructor at Krav about becoming an instructor. Krav has become such a part of my life and the people are almost like a second family. While in my cast I would go to the training center once a week to watch class, partly to stay caught up but also because I missed being there. I really do love it ...
