I'm breaking up with my half marathon. I've decided after weeks of putting it off not to run my half marathon. I completely overbooked myself this lacrosse season and left me with no time to train and sensible recovery period between long runs. The final test was today. I would run the race if I could run 9 miles today. I got to 5. My legs felt tired. My knees felt funny and the last thing I want to do is injure myself in the race like I did last time.
I think I've finally accepted that I don't really like running as much as I thought I did because it sucks and I dread doing it and I have to give myself a pep talk to actually do it. Running is a means to allow myself to eat what I want. So no more races for me, at least none that are longer than 5 miles.
I still plan on picking up my free shirt since I did pay for it, but no finisher medal for me.
