I wrote the other day about my struggles following my sinus surgery, and unfortunately skipped out on the Chilly Cheeks this morning … not because I was afraid or because it was too cold, but because I really don’t feel i’m ready to race at this point. I’m still recovering from the sinus surgery and even when I walk outside in the cold, my nose hurts because its still fairly raw on the inside. In addition, my left hammy is still sore, although not as bad as it was .. and I haven’t run more than 5 miles in almost 2 weeks, so I just didn’t think it was a good idea.

I hate to think i’m making excuses, but I really don’t feel that I am. I have to get well or I won’t be able to get to my spring marathons that I am planning for now. I think this week I should be able to get back working out like I was since my leg is feeling better (I did get 5 miles in this morning) … so things are looking up.

Nothing too much else to write, just wanted to update and admit that I blew off another race, but oh well, I made a donation to a good cause, so thats all that matters.
