Hobby Jogging: Bowing out of Boston

  1. Don't worry about letting me down. I understand. I know you've been battling some nagging injuries and I know you trained hard and wanted to run Boston with me. I'll just have to make you proud! I do appreciate all the training we did together and all the advice you've given me. I know it was a hard decision for you to make but you gotta look out for yourself. I wouldn't want to run Boston either if I felt like it was going to be a miserable day and possibly a DNF. It's more important that you rest, heal, and we can pick another marathon to do together. I really think we would do well in a marathon pushing each other. Maybe we can do some shorter summer races and take a crack at a sub 5 mile together or a fall half or something. Just rest up and heal. There are plenty of marathons in your future!

  2. That's a tough out Paprin. Really sorry to hear that. We all know that you will need it Weapon style once the legs heal up.

  3. Pat,

    You are doing the right thing. Listening to your body is a science, though we are all tough, if we choose to push though an injury, serious consequences occur. Hey after you rest up, are you interested in joining a few Charlotte runners for the New River 50k October 8th?

  4. That's a tough one to have to DNS Pat but a wise choice I'm sure. I know all about that PF pain Hope you can heal quickly now
