Realization...... HUGE Realization

Two Saturdays ago I finally got up enough oomph and went for a long run. It only ended up being 7 miles. Yes, that is a long run these days. Since December I have been telling myself I was going to run the SLC Marathon this year. Even though training has been less than stellar, ummm way less than stellar, I still had managed to convince myself that I could still do it. However, when I ran that seven miles two Saturdays ago and nearly killed myself, I realized that there is NO WAY I'm going to be able to do the marathon. Just NO WAY. Am I disappointed in myself, TOTALLY. But I feel even worse that I have let Jen down. I have been hands down the worst running partner ever.

So, here's to rockin the half, and being more motivated in the future! (Sounds like you are already motivated to run the Minneapolis!)

Oh Ang, I have been the WORST partner, NOT YOU! Oh, how I've been up and down and up and down and up and down again! You are going to rock the half. Rock it, girl!

Ang, don't be so hard on yourself. I am glad you made the decision! Now, rock that half!! Give me a call sometime, too, okay? I am sorry training is not so great this time around. Hopefully now that the pressure is off you will feel better.
