Ahab had his whale. I have the marathon.
Once again, I've been foiled. My body simply does not understand that life is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship, benevolent at best, and is supposed to be ruled by my mind. But that's not happening. Between time off for my plantar fascia to de-swell (I'm no medical person, I will make up words when it suits me) and time off when the blood clot caused my leg to swell like a balloon, I don't have the mileage base to run a marathon this fall. So, I'll run another half, and maybe get my base up enough to run a marathon in spring 2012.
This is really getting old. But, in the grand scheme of things, if the worst I have to deal with right now is not running my marathon this fall, I've got a pretty darn good life. I'll take it*.
*Fear not, this is NOT a promise that I'll stop whining. Whining is just what I do, and I'm sooooooo good at it! You'd miss it, really, you would.

Thank you for listening to your body! You will get to run that marathon- but for now try to take it easy and enjoy life one "box" at a time:) (haha- miss you!)
Hang in there and get better. Your patience will undoubtedly pay off when you kick the marathon's rear.
Do you have your eye on a particular spring marathon yet?
