Not running...

Ok. I've decided not to do the Georgetown to Idaho Springs half on Saturday. I could try to do it, simply because I've already registered. But, I don't think I'd feel very good after it was over. And I have too much to do between the end of it and the following weekend. My sister is getting married! I have a house to clean, a tent to put up in the yard, a BBQ dinner to prepare, shopping to do, etc. If I'd actually trained for the half and thought I'd recover well, that would be a different story. But, there is no way I am even close to being ready to run 13 miles and feel good about it. Which, on any other weekend, I'd be ok with. I'd be ok suffering through just to say I did it. But, I don't want to be leaning all crazy while standing next to my sister on her big day. I want to be able to stand up straight and proud right next to her. So, there. It's decided.

The next one is October 9th...Rock and Roll Denver. I've got 2 months to get back at it.

Game face...starting August 23rd.
