So after 3 days of reflecting, I am not ready to give up on my goal of a PR at TOU (both the Half and the Full) this year.  There is no doubt that my family has enjoyed my extra time that I have spent with them, but for the most part my running doesn't interfere with most family activities.  I get up and do a run before work and before they wake up.  Its only those pesky doubles and big workouts in the evening that take up too much time.  So if I can eliminate those, I would feel better about everything.  Its really my own conscience that bugs me anyway, not my family. 

My short hiatus gave my body a chance to finally recover from my illness I got last week and to finally catch up on some well-deserved sleep.  I did realize how much I do enjoy the occasional run.  The daily grind necessary for marathon training gets to me though.  Anyway, enough of this rant for today.

Sadly, Bethany and the kids left this morning and traveled up to Colestrip Montana with her parents to see her sister, husband, and 2 kids for the weekend.  That freed up a lot of time so I took a jaunt on the Planet Walk 5 mile loop.  Everything felt ok and the foot twinges that I have felt lately weren't present.

Cody, It seems as if maybe you just need a lttle kick start mentally and spiritually. There is time still for one more big push before TOU. Regroup and then attack this thing. Sometimes it's all we need to do.
