It should have been tough for me to decide whether or not to participate in the Nike Women’s Half-Marathon. I know that some of you will wonder why I took the risk of not being healed for CIM by deciding to do this race. This might be especially puzzling because I wouldn’t even get to “run.”
For me the decision was an easy one. I *am* injured. Because I have been injured for 2 weeks and counting, my training has completely stopped. I will not be in shape to BQ even if I am able to run at CIM. I gave up the San Jose Rock ‘N Roll already. If I didn’t participate at Nike too, I might still not be able to do CIM. Then I’d have done nothing. I was pretty sure that I could walk 13 miles. I would get a pretty necklace for my efforts.
