The Gambler

How does that Kenny Rogers song go?

You gotta know when to hold 'em,
know when to fold 'em...

Today I decided I'm not going to run the Philly HM.

I haven't kicked my five week-old cold. The week ended up being jam packed with "emergency" meetings for school, a presentation for my class, night stuff each night. And I haven't run this week...I guess I'm just sick (literally) and tired. And I want to cut my losses now without adding the expenses of staying over in Philly with the family and dragging them down with me.

I am proud that I actually made it through the 10 mile training run. I am actually ok with this decision.

So what next? I will run a Thankgsiving 8K and let my son run their Mile "Romp" on Turkey Day and make a true family affair of it. And now Saturday I can go to Rutgers' last home game this year with my family!

So thanks for the support in my training, I'll be back with some re-focused goals, probably a spring HM. And I'm still running, don't worry:-)
