…. well 5K … not happening today …. I walked down the driveway to the mailbox and was completely congested and winded by the time I got back in the house …. I am bummed …. but not willing to get sicker just to prove a point to myself. Greg says he will run the course with me in a few weeks when I feel better. I will still get to my goal – just not today. 
Going back to bed now…

Sorry to hear! Today would have been my first half marathon but I injured my back a month ago and I haven””t been able to run since. =(
I guess it”’’s our bodies telling us that we need to take care of ourselves. Plus, there will be other races. Are you planning on doing any other”’’s coming up?
it”’’s ok!! It”’’s always the best to listen to your body!!! There will be other fabulous 5k races to run!!! When you are feeling 100%!!!
Thanks ladies for the encouraging words.
I know when the body says to slow down, you must heed the warning – but I was disappointed – it wasn””t how I had planned to spend the weekend. This 5K course is here in town – so I will run it own my own in a few weeks just so I know I can do it. There is a local race in August – but maybe I will see if I can find another one between now and then.
This one was to help support a co-worker who”’’s teenage daughter has Cancer. We paid ahead of time so I feel good that we were able to support the cause even though I couldn””t participate in the race.
Tasha – I hope you are feeling 100% very soon!!
