Got in two days of walking with my fur babies. My heel allowed me to go 2.5 yesterday & I limped out 3 today! It has been cool here & yesterday we were "unblessed" with some snow in the morning! So glad the sun came out & melted it.

@sufferlandrian - I am in FL now, but grew up in OH. Your post about the snow made me tear up just a little. I miss everything about snow except driving in it. :-)

I have a bit of a dilemma right now...I have signed up for a Half in December. It's one I have done every year for the past 5 years (except last year when they didn't have a management company for the race so they didn't have it). I am just so not feeling it this year. I have been following my training schedule for it so far, but dreading more than normal those long Saturdays that I have coming up. And the new race managers this year have decided to start it an hour earlier. One of the things I really liked about this race was that it started at 7 which meant I didn't have to get up til 5. Now I have to get up at 4. I know it's only an hour, but it feels like so much more. I already have one Half for 2017 and found another one close by that starts at 7am in March. While I always sort of dread the extra miles that I have to put in to prepare for a race, this year I really don't feel like it. I guess I want you guys to either tell me it is ok to skip it or put on my big girl pants and just do it! LOL!
End of rant...thanks.0 -

Will you regret not doing it once the day gets here? If not, then don't do it.
Although if I had already paid the fees, I'd probably suck it up.
There you go, conflicting advice!

About twice a year a group of friends talk me into riding over a mountain. Saturday was that day. Adding 41.93 miles (with over 3,000 feet of elevation gain).

Oh dear, didn't do the Sunday update again. Sorry. I hope this isn't becoming a thing. And apparently I also forgot to congratulation anaconda for making goal!! What is wrong with me?
@Kar328 - enjoy your vacation! And I'm with k80flec, do something positive and empowering, even if that's just just taking control of your health and conquering your doctor's appointments and being proud of that.
@Lisah8969 - I think you should pull up your big girl pants and run. But I say that because I'm having a harder and harder time getting myself to train. I tell myself the training is boring but I should do it because racing is fun, but then I don't train well and the races aren't fun. If you figure this all out let me know! But I don't think quitting is the answer so let's push on...0 -

@Lisah8969: I say suck it up unless you are injured. I pushed through those long runs with an injured heel last year and just had to stop. I was hurting too much and my times were getting pitifully worse. It was sad training for the distance and pulling out. I think everyone has to look at why they don't want to keep going.
Maybe it is that you are pushing yourself with work, home and even not getting enough sleep. All can make one want to just stop. I know that with me taking care of my dad and a lame dog right now, race training just isn't in the picture right now. I always say, go out and run for 15 minutes and if I am not in it I will go home. Of all those times I only went home one time. Every runner goes through those runner slumps at sometime or another. We each had to get our mo jo back.
Lastly, I remember Jillian Michaels being asked what is the best piece of exercise equipment and she said the one that you will use all the time. So if running is not working for you, take a break and do something else that you will love and do.
