I decided about two years ago that I would run no more marathons. I decided about two weeks ago that I would run an Ultra Marathon. A fifty-miler to start.
When I made that decision, my next race was the Toys For Tots 5K in nearby Short Pump, VA. That race was on Sunday December 11th. I was starting to get a cold, and finished in 25:55 (I think). Something like that. Ron finished ahead of me. I tried to catch him, but no luck. He was the better man that day.
So ran a 5k ten days ago, and because of this crummy cold, I haven't run a single mile since. With a fifty miler ahead of me, I just flushed a week and a half of potential training time down the drain. An ignominious start I would say.
