I don't say this in a pity party way but I feel bad for you because I know how much marathon training takes. I also think because you can write about it and talk about it that you are stronger for it. I think after going what you went through you will be able to encourage a lot of other runners who have to quit for various reasons. Thanks for sharing your story with us even if it is not a fun one.

I don't really honestly consider what will happen if the weather is bad or any other unknown like me tripping and falling and hurting myself or whatever. It is good to be prepared, or at least be aware of the possibilities. Also, I'm glad A hung your medal up. Did you finish? No. But you did it, and you have a story to share. I think it's totally different than a lot of other DNFs.

We hardly ever get lightning, and you could run in wind, rain, sun, clouds, rain, sun, etc in the same race!<br /><br />Seriously, though, it's tough when a race doesn't go as planned, especially when something happens that is out of your control. Heck, it's tough when a whole season doesn't go as planned. <br /><br />Maybe it's time to train for a triathlon, eh? ;)Amanda Arrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624922078424219608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6417561613251150277.post-13843219608443585082014-04-24T17:13:25.253-05:002014-04-24T17:13:25.253-05:00Obviously, I haven't given birth. But your com...Obviously, I haven't given birth. But your comparison to educating yourself so much really struck me.<br /><br />That's EXACTLY how I am. I feel like I need to know a little bit of everything for me to ever be prepared for anything. I also OVER research things. (Like recently when Michael couldn't figure something out on his Garmin. I spent over an hour reading and watching youtube videos. And eventually just asked Amanda, who knew the answer all along. Ha.) I NEED to know things and NEED to be prepared.<br /><br />Your marathon story still makes me sad. I still think you're a marathoner. And you're definitely still the bad assiest of bad asses. Sooooo. I love you.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10055889629743484940noreply@blogger.com
