No running today or yesterday or Thursday and I think I'm leaning towards taking the rest of the year off and just see how I heal. I just don't see the benefit of running once or twice a week and then never getting healed, and on top of that I don't even know if I will run a marathon next year or not, so whats the point of it all... I don't mean to be a boob about it but it just seems I have been injured this whole year so I need to try something different or I will never get back to running again, hopefully it will work out alright but who the heck knows at this point;-( I will post once a week or so just to let you all know I'm alive and then I can check in on all you guys and gals just to make sure you are not slacking!

Later.

Dang injuries!! I will check in later to see what route you decide to take. Good luck with whatever running, or the rest of the year, brings :). Chin up~

It seems like it has been a couple of years that you have been battling injury. Sounds like it is a good time for you to take a break and let your body get healthy.
