No Marathon Man...

This blogging thing is hard! I'm good at the training logs and writing details about my training for the most part, but actually sitting down and writing an account of my day-to-day life is challenging. Thankfully I only have two followers so at least I don't have a lot to live up to...

So, no marathon for me. I pretty much had made that decision last weekend, but I went for a 3.5 mile run on Monday and that sealed the deal. I was so exhausted from running a distance that really amounts to a warm-up that I zonked out on the couch at 6:45 and was out. I've continued my runs daily since Monday, but the distance has remained the same and I can't even imagine going 26.2. I'm looking to run Portland in October and hopefully I'll get to run Eugene next May. Last year I had to option down to the half after my hernia surgery recovery took much longer than anticipated and this year I get pneumonia three weeks out. If I strike out next year I'm done marathoning in Eugene! I can't afford $95 technical shirts!
