Decisions, Decisions
“Run often. Run long. But never outrun your joy of running” – Julie Isphording
I finally made the choice I needed to make all winter. When I signed up to run the full marathon at Shamrock, my mindset was completely different. Through the winter, my training hasn't been fun (it's actually been pretty lonely) and my left hip has been bothering me and I do not want to put myself in a position to outrun my love of running or knock myself out of all the races I want to do this year.
I have nothing to prove to anyone but I owe it to myself to set myself up for success. There will be more marathons, just not right now. For now, I am perfectly happy to see the glass half full (pun intended) and run the Dolphin Challenge (half marathon and 8k) and spend the extra 3-4 hours I would have been running, drinking beer, dancing and making memories on the beach with my friends.
