Missed the Cleveland Rite-Aid Marathon

So I missed the big Cleveland Rite-Aid Marathon. I initially planned to do the half-marathon, then realized shortly into training how woefully unprepared I was for that. Then I was going to do the 10k, figuring as I used to run that distance twice a week it would be no problem. Nope! a few training runs showed me just how out of shape I was for that. So I decided to do the 5k as that is only a little over 3 miles. I was all geared up to go…then overslept.

I’m thinking that subconsciously I didn’t really feel prepared for even a run that short. I don’t know. I just feel very disappointed in myself and like a total loser.

I am looking around for some other local runs I can do… I am sure there are a few coming up I can participate in.

I’m going to run in the Cleveland Marathon 5k run on Saturday…planned to do the half-marathon, then the 10k, but I’m not really ready for either. Baby steps back into running, for me. A 5k run is only 3.1 miles, so it will be an ok run, not strenuous at all. I’m not ready for strenuous or stressful either physically or mentally. It starts at 7:30am this coming Saturday. I’ll be done at 8:10, LOL, that is seriously how slow I run these days. I was thinking then on Sunday maybe going down to watch the full, half, and 10k races, see how the runners in those are doing.
