I wanna be the girl in the bubble

1hr run (6 miles)
I got up at dark thirty this morning to give running another try.
I was nervous I would have another crappy lightheaded run so I started nice and slow.  
I kept waiting to feel like crap but it never happened.  
Yeah buddy!
I was pretty stoked to have a good run.  My hip flexor is still giving me fits from my first crash but it's no worse than it was before.  
I know that is going to take some time and probably won't heal until after Ironman so I just have to deal with it.
Speaking of Ironman.  I am still up in the air about what to do.  
My Orthopedic Doctor is sending me to get an MRI on Saturday but I won't have the results until Tuesday.  Arrrr can nothing happen fast around here?
I thought I had made some peace with myself over Ironman, it's just a race ya know.  I was sure I was over crying about it and was calmly taking one day at a time doing as much training as my body would let me.  I knew the answer would come to me and I was ok waiting until it does.  I thought I was gonna be ok with whatever the doctor had to say.
Then he started to speak about getting an MRI or waiting a few weeks to see how I felt since I was seeing improvement.
"I don't have a few weeks, I'm suppose to race Ironman", I said softly. 
Aaand then, the water works came and came and came.
Holy cats woman get a hold of yourself!  
So I thought I was cool with everything but I'm not.  
I'm wrecked and have a lot more thinking to do.  
I do know I will not make a decision until I get the results from the MRI.
So we have that to look forward too.
Oh and I have a ride scheduled for tomorrow.  I'm doing it on the bike trainer again because I'm still a big fat chicken.
BOCK BOCK!
Ya know, if I could just use one of those every time I left the house I would be fine.  Think those are race legal?
