hmm...what to do

I may have given myself permission not to run Cowtown. I have never signed up for a race and not run it.

I feel fine. I am excited about how I have recovered from IM Cozumel, but I sure am enjoying working out a little to stay in shape with no great pressure of an upcoming race.

I run 10-12 miles and then I want to be done. I don't want to run 26 miles right now. I know I could do it, but it would not be a well trained for run and Pete has never trained me to "finish". He trains me to race and he gave me a program to race Cowtown. I have shortened the last two long runs and that is not going to work. I decided that if I do not have a good 22 mile run this weekend then I do not need to run the marathon. Not sure if I will run one of the other distances or drop it altogether.

On a riding note, Pete and I have enjoyed an entire week of outdoor riding. It has been windy, but not cold. We rode the tandem a lot. It is a blast and we can cover a lot more ground because our average is a few mph faster than when we ride individual bikes.

So I guess I will decide on Monday about Cowtown. Oh, and I need to sign up for Boulder. Danna signed up and the price goes up on 2/1. That is the only race I know I will do for sure. I need to find a few more and get committed.
