My Next Half?

Well, this would work.

I registered for this half marathon even before I ran the Sarasota Half in March…even before I knew than I could ever run 13.1 miles again. (It always sells out right away.)

The race is local.  Last year I watched with a stress fracture and vowed to run it this year.

The course is also where I do my long runs.

starts at the Colonie Town Park and ends at the Corning Bike Path.

I will know so many runners at the race.

???????????????????????????????

This is the shirt we are planning to all wear.

After I finished the Sarasota Half, I decided that I wanted to do better.

Done!

So happy to have finished!!

Well, guess what?  Another injury and it would be dumb to do this race.  Right?

I usually train for a half for 12 weeks.  That means running 3 miles comfortably by July 22 to start the PLAN.

It is July 12 and I still have a broken foot.  So I obviously cannot do that.

I want to run it well.  I do not want to get injured.

So…… I should not run it this year.

Or maybe I’ll walk it??

Decisions…Decisions!

Time will tell…. (If you know me at all, you know that if there is any way I can do this race, I will….)

Happy Running?  Ever have the “Should I do it dilemma”?

One thought on “My Next Half?

  1. If your foot is healed, what about doing the race with intervals – that way your less than optimal training time won’t seem so bad, and it might be better for your foot, too?
