Happy Chicago Marathon Day! Two years ago right now I was walking from my hotel to the corrals not having slept more than a few minutes, as nervous as I've ever been in my life. For cause: I'd developed bursitis in my left hip while training, and had to quit running about six weeks prior.

My doctor and trainer advised me to shut it down. A cortisone shot didn't work, so only rest could heal it. I'd followed the training plan to that point, and everyone agreed even with a month and a half off, I should be fit enough to finish if the hip didn't take me out.
