Sorry this is going so badly right now. Believ...Aw. Sorry this is going so badly right now. Believe me, I know how it is.<br />I couldn't run my Flying Pig Marathon in 2007. And I am worried about my upcoming Baltimore Marathon, in less than 2 weeks now.<br />Yikes.<br />Hang in there. This too shall pass.*jeanne*https://www.blogger.com/profile/07786378434413037583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325782344079635897.post-86843247847548592552011-10-01T14:28:01.930-04:002011-10-01T14:28:01.930-04:00Hang in there, Jen.

I know from personal trials of a different kind how bad things can backfire when you are impatient with your body.<br /><br />You can choose to be your body's ally or always be at battle with it. I have been a lot happier as a person since I became friends with my body and decided to cut it some slack as I would a close friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656793660129979011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325782344079635897.post-72332236030910918772011-09-30T21:43:38.115-04:002011-09-30T21:43:38.115-04:00Thanks so much, Kim.

Yes, I have been considering doing either Richmond or Philly (11/19) instead of MCM, but am also considering just forgoing a full this fall rather than rushing my healing even to make those. As a result, I'm currently considering the Shamrock full in early Spring. If I do it, it will be my only full in 2012. I don't think I have the energy or ambition to train for a full for a third summer in a row.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162074305274810064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325782344079635897.post-2255057873309122892011-09-30T20:40:00.879-04:002011-09-30T20:40:00.879-04:00I'm so sad for you :( That's so disappoin...I'm so sad for you :( That's so disappointing. Marathons are so tough because it's like you plan and plan for them FOREVER and just a small side track totally messes everything up. <br /><br />That being said, my MCM runners are running their longest runs tomorrow, and so I am not sure if pushing it at MCM is the right thing to do. Have you considered picking up your training when you're ready and picking a different marathon? I know it's disappointing to miss Marine Corps, but the good news is that you've done Marine Corps before and maybe God or fate is telling you that maybe this is a year for a different race...<br /><br />Richmond is supposed to be awesome and it's 11/12. One of my group members is running it and would probably love to meet you. Or Space Coast, 11/27. There are probably more, but those are the only two that are coming to my mind right now. <br /><br />I mean, Marine corps might be out of the question, but that doesn't mean you can't still run a marathon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512369678051380428noreply@blogger.com
