One of Sarah's[1] many contributions... I'm not retreating, I'm reloading.
I've decided I will not be running the Victoria Marathon.
It was a difficult decision. Weighing my running ability versus my injury versus my age versus my desire to get a BQ versus eating tofurkey for Thanksgiving... well, maybe not the last one.
It's disappointing.
I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing now. I know I want to take some time away from "hard" training... but I also realize that I can't slack too much. I want to hit the ground running in January, literally.
I might do a race... maybe the Fall Classic or something... not sure at this moment.
Hindsight:
I wanted that little boost of speed that I was hoping to get it through the racing flats... and I have no doubt, that had I been able to adapt to them, I would have killed the marathon... instead, I got killed by them.
In a way, it I feel like Icarus... got a little too close to the sun.
[1] To be clear, I despise Sarah Palin. She is everything that is wrong with western culture... but that's for another blog.
