But Wait

So I have been dealing with the idea of not racing anymore (except for shorter, less stressful races). Thinking about relaxing, enjoying the runs, and staying clean and fed and, above all else, comfortable. That's what I think when I am not running.

I talked with Avery, my oldest grandson, about trying Run Rabbit Run again. I admitted that part of my motivation to finish it was gone, since some 60+ year old woman has already done that. I told him that she took a one hour head start.

Avery discussed the merits of playing it safe by taking the extra hour versus going bold and starting with everyone else.

A couple weeks after that conversation, we had this text exchange:

So, I wonder what I will do.....Care to weigh in?
