I am a very rare FEMALE with Hemophilia (2% Factor VIII). I want to show others, with PROPER training AND the help of your physician: TAKING CARE OF YOUR BODY, WILL HELP IT TAKE CARE OF YOU! Maintaining an appropriate body weight, having good muscle strength, and stability plays a huge role in the amount of bleeding episodes!

9 days after...
I know I haven't posted since after the marathon... I have still been "recovering". I didn't have any hemophilia related issues, but on Tuesday after, I started to have some pain in my side, which hasn't gone away. I went to the doctor today and she confirmed my thoughts that it is probably just muscle strain. Seems as though I twist my torso more than normal when running. How crazy is that... I ran 26.2 miles and my legs are fine, but my ribs hurt. LOL. She also told me that the rule of thumb for distance running is: for every mile run, take 1 day of recovery... so, I still have a few days.
