Sorry to disappoint the one COG reader out there (thanks, Fun Guv!) but I'm falling off the fence into the "Not Running" side. I've put a lot of thought into it, and I want my first Half (or full) marathon to be done the right way. Training done properly; feel good about my effort; feel good about my results. If I attempt the 13.1 miles this Sunday, I won't do well. I certainly won't feel well. And I'll just feel discouraged from this running hobby of mine. I don't want to kill that passion, especially since right now the romance has cooled a bit and it is a chore for me to motivate. Fear not, faithful reader. I haven't given up. Running and I just don't play well together right now.
So the plan is to switch races to the wimpy little 5K and run it in a record time for me. I'm aiming for somewhere around 30 minutes. If I can't run the bigger race, I can at least do a personal best on the one I do run. Next year, I will run the Detroit Half-Marathon, and I will hopefully run it well. Anyone running Sunday...see you there!

In Mike's defense he was in St. Lo with no access to a computer for anything fun.
You're running and really, that's all that really matters. So you don't do the 1/2 this year...you and Mike can run the beginning of it together next year ~ I believe he plans on doing the full...or maybe you guys can run the whole thing together....it is a year away.
If you can get Mike to run with you, let me know the secret. I've tried unsuccessfully to get that to happen in a race for almost two years now. ;)
