Back on track

Okay, I've made a final decision about this weekend. I've been agonizing over whether to run the 50K or the 50 miler this weekend at Sunmart. After running this morning I came to the conclusion that it just doesn't make sense to try the 50 miler with the shape I'm in. I had thought I'd be in much better shape and would be ready to run a 50 miler by now but with everything going on, it just didn't workout and it would be counter-productive to my overall training plans if I attempted the 50. I feel very relieved and comfortable with my decision. I've also decided that it would make more sense for my to the 50 Mile option at Rocky instead of the 100. I had thought I'd use the Rocky 100 as a 24 hour training run but will now just do the 50 miler. (looks like I'm always taking the easy way out!) I then plan on running the Holiday Lake 50K the following week. I think it'll be great to run a 50K so soon after a hard run but it will also be great to see Jean and Herm!
Sometimes it's really hard to really quiet your mind long enough to hear what it's saying. I was fighting the decision to "just" run the 50K instead of the 50 miler but I finally listened! Now I know what direction I'm going and can get down to business and get my training back on track!

I also woke up this morning feeling like I'm coming down with that pesky cold again but we think that perhaps it's my allergies. How annoying!
