Richmond Marathon- DNS
The Richmond Marathon was run today and I Did Not Start . Because I had been posting about my training for twelve or so weeks , it only seems appropriate that I'd have some sort of post to conclude what turned out to be one of the more disappointing points in my running life. I had high hopes in January of this being a good running year for me, setting challenging goals and developing a training plan that I thought would get me there. The road to hell... Things were going really well for a while but after several weeks of subpar training, getting sick, then getting tackled by a 15 year-old and sustaining an injury that made it difficult to even breathe, my fall marathon dreams disappeared. And while I was disappointed, I was also relieved. Today was my first run in 23 days. One single lap around Lake of the Isles without my Garmin, not worrying about pace, just enjoying a 63 degree day in Minnesota on November 12th. It was a good run.
