I will probably be running more races over the coming months - but I won't have to worry about how all these distractions and interruptions are screwing up my marathon training schedule. I need shorter-term goals right now. Thanks for your encouragement..Caolan MacMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371711289185833824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330212736054651223.post-29258821695780044582011-08-09T16:29:02.603-06:002011-08-09T16:29:02.603-06:00Sometimes, whether the injury is physical, mental,...Sometimes, whether the injury is physical, mental, emotional or all three, you just have to know your limits and give yourself space to heal. Sounds like you've made a decision to only modify the goal--not abandon it. I applaud your bravery to reflect and act! That's often the hardest part!faith120604https://www.blogger.com/profile/17552606009909497901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330212736054651223.post-56030425078761736312011-08-08T14:15:20.249-06:002011-08-08T14:15:20.249-06:00@ Lacey Sue - Well I certainly hope so;)

Don't mean to rain on anyone's Denver RnR parade, but this one just doesn't appeal. But, perhaps I'll change my mind ;) One never knows!Caolan MacMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371711289185833824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330212736054651223.post-42914591504087481172011-08-08T10:00:08.690-06:002011-08-08T10:00:08.690-06:00I enjoyed last year's course as it optimized p...I enjoyed last year's course as it optimized parks and shady streets. Haven't looked closely yet at the new course. Opting for the half might help you to enjoy the after race festivities more than if you ran the full.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330212736054651223.post-72694210706771935762011-08-08T09:52:07.775-06:002011-08-08T09:52:07.775-06:00I admire your strength- sometimes going against ou...I admire your strength- sometimes going against our own stubbornness is harder than anything else!
