April Fools.

Yesterday’s ‘giving up running’ announcement was an April Fool’s joke.

PS. Couldn’t get the camera ready quickly enough. Saw it coming from 400 meters away and it rolled past for another 400.

Giving up on running because it’s just too difficult

Never ran 26.2 miles… don’t like driving 26 either.

 

Not everyone loves to run. Some do.

Giving up on running because it’s just too difficult.

Too much time.

Too many long term injuries.

Too challenging with all the travel and long hours.

Too many other things we could be doing with our time instead of running.

Excuses are a dime a dozen and it’s easy to walk around with a nickel’s worth.

Be okay with getting detoured, but never be okay with giving in to “it’s not worth it anymore”.

Note: Aimed for sub-six-minute mile. Prior to the three week stretch, able to do it ‘at will’. Not yesterday.
