Time off.....

It saddens me to write this but I know it is the right decision to make.

I have decided to take a break from running.

My brain is telling me one thing but my body is clearly not up to the training that is required to run a 5k let alone a marathon.

With this break from running I have been cross-training a lot, swimming and running. Hopefully by the end of the brutal summer that is definitely in store, I won't be dehydrated and exhausted but rather rejuvenated and ready to conquer new challenges. (Nothing longer than 42.2 km, puhlease.) Maybe a fall triathlon or a marathon to start off 2012... Who knows.

In the meantime, I'll be working on my tan. In the pool, not out.
