6 Miles instead of 16
FBF had 16 miles on the schedule. I didn't want to get up at 2:30am, so I decided to sleep in and go to Oyster Creek Park. It was in the low 40's and I mostly ran. I made a decision this morning as I was doing my long training - since it has only been 3 weeks since NYC, and I'm still in recovery, 16 miles was too much, even though I'm scheduled for the 30K on December 14th. I cut back to 6 miles and decided that I would drop back to the Houston Half Marathon. I'm too tired to continue to train for a full marathon and even if I could finish in the allotted 6 hour time frame, it would be a repeat of New York. I'd rather run while there are spectators on the course and make it in while the party is still going on. I'll probably still do the 30K, though.
