It's official. Well it's been official for a few days. But now it's really official. At least I'm pretty sure it's official.
You'll have to count me out of that little jog through the boroughs of NYC. That little 26.2 jaunt with 37,000 other people on Nov 5th will just have to go on without me.
I'm not doing the NYC marathon.
It hurts to walk down the block so I figure I shouldn't pound the pavement for 4 and a half hours. I pulled a muscle on the bottom of my foot; ironically enough it happened when I was doing no impact water running. Oh, and that 18 mile run 3 days later didn't help the situation. Anyway every once in a while now I get a shooting pain in my foot; and my knee is having sympathy pains too.
It's hard to let go of the marathon. But on the other hand it would feel a lot worse to have to quit at mile 18. Or to not be able to run for another 8 week after.
The upside is that I get to tape my foot and knee every morning and I feel like a real athlete.
