Hail my running brothers and sisters! I am now approaching my final week before the Chickamauga Marathon. As most of you know (all 2 of you that actually read my blog), I was in a car accident that pretty much derailed my training. I've reconciled myself (if I keep telling myself this, it may even become true) to the idea that I won't be able to reach my goal this time. Since returning to training, I've kept my distances up, but my speed work has been sucktastic non-existent. I've been reading Once a Runner and Again to Carthage for inspiration. Sadly, all I want to do is finish the books again instead of run. Ugh. It doesn't help that my 3rd and 4th grade basketball has started, and guess who is coaching? Yeah, I know. Shocker. Don't worry, those boys will be running a fair number of suicides. All right. That's it. Wish me luck. Keep the faith. See you at the finish line!
