Not Giving Up

I feel a little defeated as I write this. I have not been able to recover from my bout of plantar fasciitis and I've had to totally stop my running to let my foot heal. As a result, a couple of days ago I decided to withdraw from my first ultramarathon, the Rockledge Rumble 50K.

But I'm not giving up on my Three in Three Challenge.

I still have an entire year to complete my goals. I am still smoke free, I've lost over 30 of my 50 lbs, and I was doing 26 mile training runs before my injury. I was laser focused on completing all three goals by November of this year. Now that's not going to happen.

Love This Quote

There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then a bit further, it transcends the mind. A bit further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.
