Annual Event

Giving Up

I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I will not be running the marathon in a couple of weeks. If you've been reading this blog over the last few months, you could probably see this coming. I've been deluding myself into thinking I'd just kind of "do it". I knew I wouldn't do well, but I would finish. Now I'm realizing that even that would be hard. And what would be the point? When the weather sucked yesterday, I thought of spending 5 hours trudging through that, for what? And the injury/recovery afterward. And not to mention the chance of this.

I'm still struggling with it. I haven't canceled yet. (Sound familiar?) But I know I will.

Sigh...
