I had great hopes about this race. Until a series of things happened that led to me deciding not to do this race. Then I woke up this morning and it was pouring. Anyway this week was supposed to be a taper.
Sunday: 6 miles my longest distance so far.
Monday: 108 sun salutations to honor my brother’s birthday
Tuesday: Walked a lot to a business meeting and yoga.
Wednesday: Feeling sore and tired.
Thursday: Rest.
Friday: Walked 2 miles.
Saturday: Rest.
This week was very challenging. In addition to trying to figure out how to taper I also had a few things unexpected things happened that impacted my run. This week I will have to find time to run and make sure I get enough rest and nourishment. I am happy I didn’t do the race today. In the end I just don’t think I had enough energy.
Have you ever decided not to run a race that you were registered for?
Sometimes you have to make difficult decisions – especially when you know you aren’t ready and might hurt yourself! Last year, I had registered for the South Jordan marathon and I moved away (but wouldn’t have been ready anyway). It was tough to keep getting the race emails, but it was the right decision! Thinking positive thoughts about your runs this upcoming week!
you are always so encouraging. Thanks!
