I would have written this race re...God, I am sorry. I would have written this race report during my depression/quit0-fucking-doing-anything phase, but I was not 'man' enough to even show up to races I had registered for. You toed the line, you pushed through and you finished. Great job. <br /><br />(WTF? on the course marking and course directors that do not know how to direct people? That can be pretty dangerous on a trail run)<br /><br />Here's to a less stressful summer of you regrouping and starting to enjoy running and racing again. <br /><br />It am finally getting it back, but it took a long time. I am still not sure how I will feel about the marathon distance or if I can even do it, but I guess we will find out on July 25th.RBRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193497073393160994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11786280.post-11357475658332841532010-06-14T08:17:15.814-06:002010-06-14T08:17:15.814-06:00FYI-that whole smoke/dust thing almost did me in t...FYI-that whole smoke/dust thing almost did me in too if Courtney had not lent me her inhaler.
