Thanks Marie...some days are just like that...
Jeanette...I do like your Dad's saying...
..I am very fortunate to not get any kind of leg cramps while running. That would be very tough to get thru...thanks for your kind words...
Mari....YES, I do hate my body betraying me!! I even did downhill training for this run?...and I know I will be just fine tomorrow...thanks...
Kathy...thank you...I did have a good day today although my sore quads made walking a bit tough!! I do feel good about my decision to pullout...
A-Jock...thank you for that passage from Lance Armstrong. I know all about the mind helping from marathon running. Yes, this was for sure a Bonk! It is a tough time of year for competing in hot, humid weather. Where I ran it wasn't the heat persay but perhaps the elevation that was my undoing. I am glad even with the not favorable weather conditions that you are able to keep up your awesome workouts...
Thanks Jo...I have been thinking about just that reason a few times today!...
Sarah...sorry about the rough day for you, I know all to well long runs can do that..Thank you for making me smile with your kind words...
Mattea....thank you for those warm hugs...
...I will recover and give my legs a rest this week, but the whip comes out next week!!!
