hard choices

I have a really hard decision to make. I really don't think I'm going to be ready for this marathon. I've been running pain free but very short distances. It's only seven and half weeks away. I know this seems like a no brainer, just don't run it. It I cancelled I would still be responsible for the fundraising for A Running Start. I could possible defer my entrance to next year, but I'll have to check. I really don't know what to do.

Could you go and walk/run or walk most of it? I was actually thinking of you the other day because I've had a whole host of problems since I almost broke my food in August. I can run now, but I have been over-compensating with my other leg and now have an injury there. Anyway, I was thinking, "I wonder if she'll run the marathon now . . . MAYBE she could go and walk it."

I know it's difficult for a runner to do this. I mean. It's like, "Ugh . . . I want to run. I CAN run, etc." However, it's also difficult for a runner to admit when he/she needs to stay off his/her feet (at least running).

That's just my two cents. Good luck with whatever you decide, though.
