After having to sit out the past three weeks with injury it looks like I am out for the 3M half marathon and the AT&T half marathon. My whole goal of this training season was to PR in the 3M and that goal has been blown away by the injury. Of course I am going back to the doctor on Monday and might be cleared but with this much time off I think the PR is out of reach.
Since that goal is unattainable with only 3 weeks till 3M, I simply do not have the motivation to put in the miles. This is the first time I have been injured due to running and I think I did too much too early in the season. 8-10 mile runs 3-5 months out from my events was simply too much.
So am I bummed:yes, do I hope the weather stays nice so I can get back on the bike:yes.
Hopefully the pain in the calf will continue to dissipate and I can get back to normal soon.

Now you can get on your bike! I hear ya, though. I am also not going to run, and as soon as I made that decision a huge weight lifted, and the injury is healing (finally for good). Enjoy the time off. Duathlon/Cycling starts soon...
well son, you could have blogged about your time in MD and what a great time you had in the suite at the Ravens game. Or, you could have blogged about the time you spent with your brother or .....
